As of December 31, 2020, Kodak had available domestic and foreign NOL carry-forwards for income tax purposes of approximately $2,068 million, of which approximately $856 million have an indefinite carry-forward period. The remaining $1,212 million expire between the years 2021 and 2038. As of December 31, 2020, Kodak had unused foreign tax credits and investment tax credits of $358 million and $42 million, respectively, with various expiration dates through 2039. Utilization of NOL carry-forwards and tax credits may be subject to limitations in the event of significant changes in stock ownership of the Company in the future. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes annual limitations on the utilization of NOL carryforwards, other tax carryforwards, and certain built-in losses as defined under that Section, upon an ownership change. In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions that increase the aggregate ownership of certain stockholders in Kodak’s stock by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year testing period. Kodak had deferred tax liabilities of $22 million and $19 million for potential taxes on the undistributed earnings, including foreign withholding taxes, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Kodak’s valuation allowance as of December 31, 2020 was $1,112 million. Of this amount, $374 million was attributable to Kodak’s net deferred tax assets outside the U.S. of $364 million, and $738 million related to Kodak’s net deferred tax assets in the U.S. of $717 million, for which Kodak believes it is not more likely than not that the assets will be realized. As of March 31, 2020, Kodak determined that it was more likely than not that deferred tax assets outside the U.S. which were not offset with valuation allowances as of March 31, 2020 would not be realized due to reductions in estimates of future profitability as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in locations outside the U.S. Accordingly, Kodak recorded a provision of $167 million associated with the establishment of a valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets. Kodak’s valuation allowance as of December 31, 2019 was $821 million. Of this amount, $168 million was attributable to Kodak’s net deferred tax assets outside the U.S. of $322 million, and $653 million related to Kodak’s net deferred tax assets in the U.S. of $633 million, for which Kodak believes it is not more likely than not that the assets will be realized. During 2019, Kodak determined that it was more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets outside the U.S. would not be realized due to reduced sales volumes and profits in locations outside the U.S. and accordingly recorded a provision of $19 million associated with the establishment of a valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of Kodak’s liability for income taxes associated with unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in millions):
|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Balance as of January 1 |  | $ | 54 |  |  | $ | 57 |
Tax positions related to the current year: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Additions |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Tax positions related to prior years: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Reductions |  |  | (42 | ) |  |  | (1 | )
Settlements with taxing jurisdictions |  |  | (6 | ) |  |  | (3 | )
Balance as of December 31 |  | $ | 8 |  |  | $ | 54 |
Kodak’s policy regarding interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters is to recognize such items as a component of income tax (benefit) expense. Kodak had approximately $14 million of interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax benefits accrued as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Kodak had uncertain tax benefits of approximately $22 million and $20 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate. Kodak has classified certain income tax liabilities as current or noncurrent based on management’s estimate of when these liabilities will be settled. The current liabilities are recorded in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Noncurrent income tax liabilities are recorded in Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. It is reasonably possible that the liability associated with Kodak’s unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease within the next twelve months. These changes may be the result of settling ongoing audits or the expiration of statutes of limitations. Such changes to the unrecognized tax benefits could range from $0 million to $5 million based on current estimates. Audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty. Although management believes that adequate provision has been made for such issues, there is the possibility that the ultimate resolution of such issues could have an adverse effect on the earnings of Kodak. Conversely, if these issues are resolved favorably in the future, the related provision would be reduced, thus having a positive impact on earnings. During 2020, Kodak agreed to terms with the IRS and settled the federal audit for calendar years 2013 and 2014. For these years, Kodak originally recorded a federal unrecognized tax position (“UTP”) totaling $41 million, which was fully offset by tax attributes. This settlement resulted in an increase in net deferred tax assets and was fully offset by a corresponding increase in Kodak’s U.S. valuation allowance, resulting in no net tax benefit. During 2019, Kodak reached a settlement outside of the U.S. and settled an audit for calendar years 2005-2008. Kodak originally recorded liabilities for UTPs totaling $3 million (plus interest of approximately $3 million). Kodak paid $2 million in 2019 as result of this settlement and paid the remaining $4 million in April 2020. Kodak is subject to taxation and files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in many state and foreign jurisdictions. Kodak has substantially concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 2015 and state income tax matters for years through 2012 with the respective tax authorities. With respect to countries outside the U.S., Kodak has substantially concluded all material foreign income tax matters through 2013 with respective foreign tax jurisdiction authorities.
