The Company had Federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $350,000 at December 31, 2020. We expect the Federal net operating loss to be completely used and offset taxable income by December 31, 2021. The federal NOL may be carried forward to offset future taxable income, subject to applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Certain federal NOLs will expire in years 2036 and 2037 if not used. Due to tax reform enacted in 2017, NOLs created after 2017 carry forward indefinitely. The estimated federal NOL that does not expire included in the total above is $350,000. The Company had Minnesota net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,330,000 at December 31, 2020.  We expect the state net operating loss to be completely used and offset taxable income by December 31, 2021.  States may vary in their treatment of post-2017 NOLs. We lost some state NOL carryforwards when we filed final 2019 tax returns in several states. The remaining state NOL carryforwards may expire in 2036 and 2037 if not used.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  Significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:
