At December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no valuation allowances recorded. Based upon the Company’s historical results of operations, the existing financial condition of the Company and management’s assessment of all other available information, management believes that it is more likely than not that the benefit of these deferred income tax assets will be realized. As computed for the years ended December 31 at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% for 2020 and 2019, to income tax expense follows:
(in thousands) | 2020 |  | 2019
Anticipated income tax expense | $ | 10,429 |  |  | $ | 8,362 |
Increase (decrease) related to: |  |  |
State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit | 108 |  |  | 112 |
Tax-exempt interest income, net of amortization | (1,199) |  |  | (900) |
Other, net | 903 |  |  | 791 |
Provision for income taxes | $ | 10,241 |  |  | $ | 8,365 |
In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company is required to recognize in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on an audit, based on the technical merits of the position. In this regard, an uncertain tax position represents the Company’s expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. There were no unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities as of December 31, 2020. The amount of unrecognized tax benefit or liability may increase or decrease in the future for various reasons, including adding amounts for current tax year positions, expiration of open income tax returns due to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, changes in management’s judgment about the level of uncertainty, status of examinations, litigation and legislative activity and the additions or eliminations of uncertain tax positions. The Company’s policy is to report interest and penalties related to income taxes in the Other Expenses line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company, or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state and local examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2017.
