Carryovers For U.S. federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2023, the Company has no U.S. federal net operating loss carryovers and no capital loss carryovers. For Canadian income tax purposes, USCAN has $91,000 of net operating loss carryovers expiring in fiscal year 2043 and no capital loss carryovers. Additional Disclosures A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax amount will not be realized. At June 30, 2023, a valuation allowance of $24,000 was included to fully reserve for net operating loss carryovers. There was no valuation allowance included at June 30, 2022. Uncertain income tax positions The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, state tax jurisdictions within the U.S., and taxes in Canada. The Company maintains a reserve for uncertain tax positions. As of June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022, the total reserve for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, and net of federal benefits, was $496,000 and $379,000, respectively, which is included within long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The reserve as of June 30, 2023, relates to the Company’s uncertain tax positions for income tax matters. The Company believes the reserve for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, and net of federal benefits, of $496,000 as of June 30, 2023, adequately covers open tax years and uncertain tax positions up to and including fiscal 2023 for major taxing jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2023, the entire $496,000 of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties and net of federal benefit, if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective income tax rate. The Company's activity was as follows:
|  | Year ended June 30, |
(dollars in thousands) |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Beginning Balance |  | $ | 379 |  |  | $ | - |
Increases related to current year tax positions |  |  | 117 |  |  |  | 379 |
Ending Balance |  | $ | 496 |  |  | $ | 379 |
The Company continues to follow its policy of recognizing interest and penalties accrued on tax positions as a component of income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount of accrued interest and penalties associated with the Company’s tax positions was $166,000 and $86,000 as of June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022, respectively. The tax years from 2019 through 2022 remain open to examination by the U.S. Federal tax jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. The tax years from 2016 through 2022 remain open to examination by the non-U.S. Federal tax jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. For jurisdictions with unfiled tax returns, the statutes of limitations remain open indefinitely.
