During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company assessed its earnings history and trend over the past year and its estimate of future earnings, and determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be realized in the near term. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded and maintained against the net deferred tax asset for the amount not expected to be realized in the future

 

At December 31, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10.7 million for Federal tax purposes and $10.5 million for Florida tax purposes available to offset future taxable income. These carryforwards will begin to expire in 2029. A portion of the Federal and Florida net operating losses are subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limitations.

 

The Company files U.S. and Florida income tax returns. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal or state income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2012. The Company’s 2010 and 2009 Federal income tax returns were under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). In 2015 the IRS closed the examination with no adjustments for taxes due. In 2015, the Company reversed its reserve for unrecognized tax benefits related to these exams by recording an income tax benefit of $320,000.

 

The Company regularly reviews its tax positions in each significant taxing jurisdiction in the process of evaluating its unrecognized tax benefits. The Company makes adjustments to its unrecognized tax benefits when: (i) facts and circumstances regarding a tax position change, causing a change in management’s judgment regarding that tax position; (ii) a tax position is effectively settled with a tax authority at a differing amount; and/or (iii) the statute of limitations expires regarding a tax position. The Company does not expect to a change in unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.

 

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

 

    Year Ended December 31,  
    2015   2014  
               
Balance, beginning of year   $ 320   $ 320  
Additions for tax positions related to current year          
Additions for tax positions of prior years          
Settlement due to exam closure     (320 )    
               
Balance, end of year   $   $ 320
