As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had $21.5 million and $20.3 million in tax-effected foreign net operating loss carryforwards, respectively. The deferred tax asset valuation allowance relates primarily to loss carryforwards. The remainder of the valuation allowance relates to state tax credits.

In assessing whether a deferred tax asset will be realized, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We consider the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, we believe it is more likely than not we will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances, as of December 31, 2022.

No provision was made for income taxes which may become payable upon distribution of our foreign subsidiaries’ earnings. An actual repatriation in the future from our non-U.S. subsidiaries could still be subject to foreign withholding taxes and U.S. state taxes, but we expect any amounts to be immaterial.

We are currently in the Bridge program for our U.S. federal income taxes under the Internal Revenue Service’s Compliance Assurance Program for 2022 and 2021. As a result, our returns for those years will not be examined. However, we are subject to examination by numerous other taxing authorities in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. We have no material uncertain tax provisions recorded as of December 31, 2022. We are generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years prior to 2015.
