Total net income tax payments were $13,022,000 in 2022, $7,493,000 in 2021, and $4,099,000 in 2020. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards related to state income taxes of approximately $4.6 million (gross) that will expire between 2030 and 2034. The Company does not have a valuation allowance related to net operating loss carryforwards due to implemented tax planning strategies.

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to income tax matters as income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties were immaterial as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

During 2022, the Company recognized an increase in its liability for unrecognized tax benefits related primarily to prior year positions and disclosed as part of other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. This liability, if released, would affect our effective rate. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized benefits with respect to the Company’s unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease in the next 12 months. These changes may be the result of, among other things, state tax settlements under voluntary disclosure agreements, or conclusions of ongoing examinations or reviews. However, quantification of an estimated range cannot be made at this time.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income tax in multiple jurisdictions. In many cases, the uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain open and subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. In general, the Company’s 2019 through 2021 tax years remain open to examination. Additional years may be open to the extent attributes are being carried forward to an open year.
