On July 20, 2020, the U.S. Treasury Department issued final regulations ("T.D. 9902") addressing the treatment of income earned by certain foreign corporations that are subject to a high rate of foreign income tax for purposes of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") provisions of I.R.C. section 951A. Specifically, these regulations allow taxpayers to exclude certain high-taxed income of a controlled foreign corporation from their computation of GILTI on an elective basis ("High-Tax Exception"). Although the High-Tax Exception was effective July 23, 2020, taxpayers are allowed to apply the rule to the taxable years of their controlled foreign corporations beginning after December 31, 2017. During the period ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $2.0 million U.S. federal income tax benefit for the impact of the High-Tax Exception which consisted of a $0.7 million tax benefit related to the current year-to-date period, a $0.5 million tax benefit related to the year ended December 31, 2019, and a $0.8 million tax benefit related to the year ended December 31, 2018.
We file federal income tax returns in the U.S. and income tax returns in various U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. In the U.S., we are generally no longer subject to tax assessment for tax years prior to 2017. In our major foreign jurisdictions including China, Czech Republic, Mexico and the United Kingdom, our income tax filings are generally subject to examination for three to five years.
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $1.0 million, in unrecognized tax benefits related to U.S. federal, state and foreign jurisdictions which may impact our effective tax rate, if recognized. The domestic unrecognized tax benefits are netted against the related deferred tax assets. We accrue penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits through income tax expense. Included in the unrecognized tax benefits is $0.4 million of interest and penalties as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. We are not aware of any events that could occur within the next twelve months that would have a material impact on the amount of unrecognized tax benefits.
At September 30, 2020, due to cumulative losses and other factors, we continue to carry valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets, primarily in the United Kingdom and Luxembourg. Additionally, we continue to carry valuation allowances related to certain state deferred tax assets that we believe are more likely than not to expire before they can be utilized. We evaluate the need for valuation allowances in each of our jurisdictions on a quarterly basis.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was signed into law. Although the Company continues to evaluate the new law, we do not expect either the U.S. or non-U.S. corporate income tax provisions of the CARES Act to have a material impact on our income tax (benefit) provision.
