12. INCOME TAXES
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 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.
The Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include net deferred tax assets of $252,000 for the Canadian and $841,000 for the Mexican tax jurisdictions and a net deferred tax liability of $718,000 for the U.S. tax jurisdiction at September 30, 2022. The deferred tax asset is classified in other non-current assets and deferred tax liabilities are in other non-current liabilities. At September 30, 2022, the Company's net deferred tax liability included a valuation allowance of $4,257,000, due to cumulative losses over the last three years and uncertainty related to the Company's ability to realize United States deferred tax 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.

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 is estimated to be $1,251,000, approximately 48.7% of income before income taxes, and includes tax expense for the Canadian and Mexican tax jurisdictions. U.S. operations incurred a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and the net loss tax benefit was offset with a full valuation reserve. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was estimated to be $396,000, approximately 13.6% of loss before income taxes.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States, Mexico, Canada and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company is subject to federal income tax examinations for tax years 2014 through 2017 but the scope of examination is limited to adjustments resulting from Net Operating Loss carry back claims from the 2018, 2019, and 2020 tax years. The Company is subject to federal income tax examinations for years 2018 through 2021 with unlimited scope. The Company is not subject to state examinations for years before 2017.
