As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward of $4.6 million and state NOL carryforwards of $2.7 million. The federal NOL carryforward will begin to expire in 2029 and the state NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in 2026 through 2039, if unutilized. Federal NOLs generated in tax years after 2017 do not expire but are limited to 80% of taxable income. The Company also had NOL carryforwards in Italy of $7.1 million that do not expire but are limited to 80% of taxable income. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $2.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, that will begin expiring in 2023. In 2021, the Company transferred certain intellectual property held by its Italian subsidiary to the U.S. in exchange of cash consideration, resulting in a gain in Italy, to more closely align the economic ownership of this intellectual property with the Company’s current and future business operations. The Company evaluated the likelihood that it would realize the deferred income taxes to offset future taxable income and concluded that it is more likely than not that the majority of its deferred tax assets will be realized through consideration of both the positive and negative evidence. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company released the valuation allowance recorded related to the net deferred tax assets in Italy in the amount of $0.9 million. Effective Tax Rate The reconciliation between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the Company’s effective rate is summarized as follows:
|  | Years ended December 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Statutory federal income tax rate |  |  | 21.0 | % |  |  | 21.0 | % |  |  | 21.0 | %
State tax expense, net of federal benefit |  |  | (3.2 | %) |  |  | 1.5 | % |  |  | 5.5 | %
Stock compensation |  |  | 22.3 | % |  |  | (2.2 | %) |  |  | 0.6 | %
Section 162(m) limitation |  |  | 8.7 | % |  |  | - |  |  |  | 0.3 | %
Goodwill impairment |  |  | - | % |  |  | (16.8 | %) |  |  | - | %
Change in fair value of contingent consideration |  |  | (36.7 | %) |  |  | 6.7 | % |  |  | - | %
Change in state apportionment |  |  | (29.8 | %) |  |  | 4.9 | % |  |  | - | %
Federal, state and foreign tax credits |  |  | (28.4 | %) |  |  | 2.2 | % |  |  | (1.5 | %)
Valuation allowance |  |  | (35.3 | %) |  |  | (3.0 | %) |  |  | - | %
Other permanent items |  |  | 11.0 | % |  |  | 1.9 | % |  |  | (1.2 | %)
Effective income tax rate |  |  | (70.4% | ) |  |  | 16.2 | % |  |  | 24.7 | %
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company does not anticipate experiencing any significant increase or decrease in its unrecognized tax benefits within the twelve months following December 31, 2021. In the normal course of business, Anika and its subsidiaries may be periodically examined by various taxing authorities. The Company files income tax returns in the United States on a federal basis, in certain U.S. states, and in certain foreign jurisdictions. The associated tax filings remain subject to examination by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2018. Upon the settlement of certain stock-based awards (i.e., exercise, vesting, forfeiture, or cancellation), the actual tax deduction is compared with cumulative financial reporting compensation cost, and any excess tax deduction related to these awards is considered a windfall tax benefit. The Company records windfall tax benefits to income tax expense. The Company follows the with-and-without approach for the direct effects of windfall/shortfall items and to determine the timing of the recognition of any related benefits. The Company recorded a windfall tax benefit in income tax expense of $0.1 million in 2021 compared to $0.2 million in 2020 and an immaterial amount in 2019.
