The Company's other carryforwards, primarily related to charitable contributions at December 31, 2025, expire in the tax years ending 2028 to 2030. The Company evaluates its ability to realize deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. Based on the Company's assessment as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company determined that based on all the available evidence, including the Company’s three-year cumulative pre-tax loss position, it is not more likely than not that the results of operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize its deferred tax assets and retained a full valuation allowance. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company established a full valuation allowance of $123.2 million against its deferred tax assets and recognized a corresponding increase to tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the year ended December 31, 2023. As required under ASU 2023-09, the Company has included only the portion of the valuation allowance related to federal deferred tax assets in the "change in valuation allowance" line of the rate reconciliation. The following table presents a reconciliation of the total change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2025 (in thousands):
Beginning balance | $ | (132,605) |
Change charged to income tax expense | (14,333) |

Uncertain Tax Positions The Company regularly evaluates the likelihood of realizing the benefit from income tax positions that the Company has taken in various federal, state and foreign filings by considering all relevant facts, circumstances and information available. If the Company determines it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, a benefit will be recognized at the largest amount that the Company believes is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. There are no unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions for the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Interest and penalties related to income tax matters are classified as a component of income tax expense (benefit). As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company has not recorded any interest or penalties as the amounts were not material. Unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Income Taxes Paid
