A valuation allowance was established at December 31, 2021 and 2020 due to estimates of future utilization of net operating loss carryovers in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, derived primarily from acquisitions and recorded through purchase accounting. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2021 and 2020 also includes a full valuation for the Company’s foreign tax credit carryovers and foreign taxes on its controlled foreign corporations.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has foreign net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $11.2 million. If not utilized, these NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2022. The Company also has a federal tax credit carryforward of approximately $1.9 million, which will begin to expire in 2026, if not utilized.

Uncertain tax positions

Benefits from tax positions should be recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more likely than not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more likely than not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting

period in which that threshold is no longer met. It is the Company’s policy to accrue for interest and penalties related to its uncertain tax positions within income tax expense.

A tabular reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning and end of the period is as follows:

We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next twelve months.

The Company has recognized through income tax expense approximately $0.9 million of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The amount of unrecognized tax benefit, if recognized, that would impact the effective tax rate is $1.6 million. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014.
