We are not permanently reinvested in a portion of our previously taxed unremitted foreign earnings, which may be distributed in the future. At December 31, 2021, we have accrued the appropriate amount of U.S. state income taxes and foreign withholding taxes for the unremitted foreign earnings that are not permanently reinvested. We have not provided any U.S. taxes on a total temporary difference of $442.8 million related to the excess of financial reporting basis over tax basis in our non-U.S. subsidiaries as it is our position that we are permanently reinvested for this basis difference.
At December 31, 2021, we have $236.5 million of state net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. that expire at various dates beginning in 2022 through 2041, U.S. federal and state credit carryforwards of $0.1 million that will not expire, a U.S. foreign tax credit carryforward of $32.0 million that will expire beginning in 2027, U.K. capital loss carryforwards of $4.2 million that will not expire, Germany net operating loss carryforwards of $45.2 million that will not expire, Italy net operating loss carryforwards of $0.1 million that will not expire, Japan net operating loss carryforwards of $0.4 million that will expire in 2030, and New Zealand net operating loss carryforwards of $0.4 million that will not expire. The Company used $271.6 million of state net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. in 2021.
A valuation allowance of $0.7 million has been recorded against the state net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. and a valuation allowance of $32.0 million has been recorded against the U.S. foreign tax credit carryforward as of December 31, 2021. A valuation allowance of $14.7 million has been recorded against German net operating losses and other deferred tax assets.

Generally accepted accounting principles relating to uncertain income tax positions prescribe a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized and provides guidance on the derecognition,
measurement, classification, and disclosure relating to income taxes. The movement in uncertain tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 were as follows:

We have elected to include interest and penalties in our income tax expense. The total interest and penalties included within uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2021, were $0. We do not expect a significant change to the amount of uncertain tax positions within the next twelve months. Our U.S. federal returns remain open to examination for 2017 through 2020 and various U.S. state jurisdictions are open for periods ranging from 2016 through 2020. The portion of the total amount of uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2021, that would, if recognized, impact the effective tax rate was $0.5 million.
We have classified our tax reserves as a long-term obligation on the basis that management does not expect to make payments relating to those reserves within the next twelve months.
