Included in the deferred income tax asset is the expected income tax benefit attributable to net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities. There is no valuation allowance provided for the deferred tax asset attributable to unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities. Management expects to recover the unrealized losses by holding the securities until maturity or recovery in value; therefore, the related deferred tax asset is expected to reverse over time.         The total deferred income tax asset also includes capital and net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes available to offset future capital gains and taxable income, respectively. The total capital loss carryforward, available to offset future capital gains, was $460.6 million as of December 31, 2009. If not used, the remaining 2008 capital loss carryforward of $121.1 million and the $339.5 million capital loss generated in 2009 will expire in 2013 and 2014, respectively. Domestic state net operating loss carryforwards were $184.2 million as of December 31, 2009, and will expire between 2017 and 2029. Foreign net operating loss carryforwards generated in various foreign countries were $48.3 million as of December 31, 2009, with some operating loss carryforwards scheduled to expire beginning in 2014 while others never expire. We maintain valuation allowances by jurisdiction against the deferred income tax assets related to certain of these carryforwards, as utilization of these income tax benefits fail the more likely than not criteria in certain jurisdictions. A valuation allowance has been recorded on income tax benefits associated with state net operating loss carryforwards and foreign net operating loss carryforwards. Adjustments to the valuation allowance will be made if there is a change in management's assessment of the amount of the deferred income tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized.         Accumulated net operating losses of $485.2 million and $376.6 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, are attributed to captive reinsurance companies that are temporarily excluded from our consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. These net operating losses will expire between 2021 and 2024. One of the captive reinsurance companies will be able to join the consolidated U.S. federal income tax return in 2012, with the other in 2013. All accumulated net operating losses are anticipated to be utilized before expiration. Therefore, no valuation allowance has been provided for the deferred income tax assets attributable to these net operating losses.         U.S. federal and state deferred income taxes have not been provided on approximately $448.1 million of accumulated but undistributed earnings from operations of foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 2009. Such earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested in the business. It is not practical to determine the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability that would arise if these earnings were remitted due to foreign tax credits and exclusions that may become available at the time of remittance. A tax liability will be recognized when we no longer plan to indefinitely reinvest the earnings or when we plan to sell all or a portion of our ownership interest.         The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has completed examination of our consolidated federal income tax returns for years prior to 2004. We are contesting certain issues and have filed suit in the Court of Federal Claims, requesting refunds for the years 1995 - 2003. We are also litigating a partnership issue for the years 2002 - 2003 in the federal district court of Iowa. We had $243.6 million and $226.2 million of current income tax receivables associated with outstanding audit issues reported as other assets in our consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We do not expect the litigation to be resolved within the next twelve months.         The IRS commenced examination of the U.S. consolidated federal income tax returns for 2004 - 2005 in March 2007. The fieldwork is substantially complete and the final report is expected to be received sometime in the second or third quarter of 2010. The statute of limitations for the 2004 - 2005 tax years expires on September 15, 2010. The IRS commenced examination of the U.S. consolidated federal income tax returns for 2006 - 2007 in March 2009 and of the tax return for 2008 in January 2010.         We believe it is reasonably possible that the amount of our unrecognized tax benefits could increase by $0.0 million to $11.0 million within the next twelve months. The uncertainty is associated with our affiliate's investment in a transaction that gave rise to foreign tax credits. We expect the IRS to disallow some or all of these foreign tax credits. We believe that we have adequate defenses against, or sufficient provisions for, the contested issues, but final resolution of the contested issues could take several years while legal remedies are pursued. Consequently, we do not expect the ultimate resolution of issues from tax years 1995 - 2003 to have a material impact on our net income. Similarly, we believe there are adequate defenses against, or sufficient provisions for, any challenges that might arise in tax years subsequent to 2003.         We are a U.S. shareholder in various foreign entities classified as controlled foreign corporations ("CFCs") for U.S. tax purposes. U.S. shareholders of CFCs are generally required to take into account as gross income in the U.S. certain passive income earned by the CFCs ("subpart F income") even if the income is not currently distributed. The U.S. Congress enacted a temporary exception (the "active financing exception") to current recognition of subpart F income derived in the active conduct of a banking, financing, insurance or similar business in 1998. The active financing exception has been consistently extended by the U.S. Congress since that time, most recently through December 31, 2009.         The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Extenders Act of 2009 on December 9, 2009, which provided for the extension of the active financing exception through December 31, 2010. The U.S. Senate failed to take action on the bill and consequently the active financing exception expired December 31, 2009. We anticipate that the U.S. Congress will take action on legislation in early 2010 to retroactively extend the active financing exception to January 1, 2010, as addressed in the Obama Administration's proposed budget for 2011. We may be subject to increased current tax expense in the U.S. on our foreign operations beginning in 2010 in the event the U.S. Congress delays action or fails to pass extenders legislation. </td></tr></table> 11.
