The Company evaluates the
 
balance of deferred
 
tax assets that will
 
be realized based
 
on the premise that
 
the Company is more
likely than not to realize deferred tax benefits through the generation of future taxable income. Management makes assumptions,
judgments, and estimates to determine our current and
 
deferred tax provision and also the deferred
 
tax assets and liabilities. The
Company evaluates
 
provisions and
 
deferred tax
 
assets quarterly
 
to determine
 
if adjustments
 
to our
 
valuation allowance
 
are
required based on the consideration of all available evidence.
 
 
As of December
 
31, 2020 the Company had a net deferred tax asset of $
53,000
 
consisting of a liability of $
876,000
 
related to tax
positions in the
 
United States,
 
an asset of
 
$
460,000
 
related to tax
 
positions in Canada
 
and an asset
 
of $
469,000
 
related to tax
positions in Mexico.
The deferred
 
tax liabilities are
 
in other noncurrent
 
liabilities on
 
the Consolidated
 
Balance Sheet.
During
2020, the Company recorded
 
a valuation allowance of
 
$
1,193,000
 
against the entire state
 
and local net loss
 
carryforward and a
portion of
 
the interest
 
limitation carryforward,
 
due to
 
cumulative losses
 
in the
 
United States
 
over the
 
last three
 
years and
uncertainty related
 
to the Company
 
’s ability
 
to realize
 
the deferred
 
assets. The Company
 
believes that
 
the deferred
 
tax assets
associated with the Canadian and Mexican tax jurisdictions are more-likely-than-not to be realizable based on estimates
 
of future
taxable income.
 
 
Deferred tax assets consist of the following at December

At December
 
31, 2020, the
 
Company had estimated
 
net operating loss
 
carryforwards in the
 
state and local
 
tax jurisdictions
 
of
$
25,990,000
 
and interest limitation carryforwards in United States federal
 
jurisdictions of $
4,697,000
. Both carryforwards do not
expire. At December 31, 2020, the Company had
no
 
net operating loss carryforwards in Canada, Mexico or United States federal
jurisdictions.
 
 
 
At December
 
31, 2020
 
and 2019
 
the Company
 
had
no
 
liability for
 
unrecognized tax
 
benefits under
 
guidance relating
 
to tax
uncertainties. The Company does
 
not anticipate that the
 
unrecognized tax benefits will
 
significantly change within the next
 
twelve
months.
 
 
The Company
 
files income
 
tax returns
 
in the
 
United States,
 
Mexico, Canada
 
and various
 
state and
 
local jurisdictions.
 
The
Company is not subject
 
to United States federal and
 
state income tax examinations
 
by tax authorities for
 
the years before 2017,
not subject to
 
Mexican income tax
 
examinations by Mexican
 
authorities for the
 
years before 2015
 
and not subject to
 
Canadian
income tax examinations by Canadian authorities for the years
 
before 2018.
