Deferred tax assets and liabilities were comprised of the following ($ in millions): January 29, 2022 January 30, 2021Deferred revenue$ 76  $ 67  Compensation and benefits 156  122  Stock-based compensation 31  29  Other accrued expenses 46  64  Operating lease liabilities 707  698  Loss and credit carryforwards 143  143  Other 45  48  Total deferred tax assets 1,204  1,171  Valuation allowance (128) (127) Total deferred tax assets after valuation allowance 1,076  1,044  Inventory (24) (13) Property and equipment (270) (258) Operating lease assets (676) (662) Goodwill and intangibles (64) (55) Other (39) (39) Total deferred tax liabilities (1,073) (1,027) Net deferred tax assets$ 3  $ 17  Deferred taxes were presented as follows ($ in millions): Balance Sheet LocationJanuary 29, 2022 January 30, 2021Other assets$ 25  $ 17  Long-term liabilities (22) - Net deferred tax assets$ 3  $ 17  As of January 29, 2022, we had deferred tax assets for net operating loss carryforwards from international operations of $108 million, of which $93 million will expire in various years through 2038 and the remaining amounts have no expiration; acquired U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $11 million, of which $4 million will expire in various years between 2025 and 2029 and the remaining amounts have no expiration; U.S. federal foreign tax credit carryforwards of $7 million, which expire between 2024 and 2032; state credit carryforwards of $3 million, which expire between 2023 and 2028; state net operating loss carryforwards of $5 million, which expire between 2023 and 2041; international credit carryforwards of $1 million, which have no expiration; and international capital loss carryforwards of $8 million, which have no expiration. As of January 29, 2022, a valuation allowance of $128 million had been established, of which $7 million is against U.S. federal foreign tax credit carryforwards, $10 million is against international, federal and state capital loss carryforwards, $110 million is against international, acquired federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, and $1 million is against international and state credit carryforwards. The $1 million increase in fiscal 2022 is primarily due to acquired international and federal net operating loss carryforwards and the current year loss activity from international net operating loss carryforwards, partially offset by the expiration of certain international net operating loss carryforwards and the exchange rate impact on the valuation allowance against certain international net operating loss carryforwards. Reconciliations of changes in unrecognized tax benefits were as follows ($ in millions): 2022 2021 2020Balances at beginning of period$ 327  $ 318  $ 300  Gross increases related to prior period tax positions 3  17  1  Gross decreases related to prior period tax positions(1) (103) (25) (5) Gross increases related to current period tax positions 28  29  34  Settlements with taxing authorities (7) (1) - Lapse of statute of limitations (13) (11) (12) Balances at end of period$ 235  $ 327  $ 318  (1)Represents multi-jurisdiction, multi-year non-cash benefits from the resolution of certain discrete tax matters. Unrecognized tax benefits of $214 million, $307 million and $300 million as of January 29, 2022, January 30, 2021, and February 1, 2020, respectively, would favorably impact our effective income tax rate if recognized. We recognize interest and penalties (not included in the “unrecognized tax benefits” above), as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements, as components of income tax expense. Interest income of $20 million, interest expense of $4 million and interest expense of $11 million was recognized in fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively. As of January 29, 2022, January 30, 2021, and February 1, 2020, we had accrued interest of $46 million, $74 million and $67 million, respectively. We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before fiscal 2011. Changes in state, federal and foreign tax laws may increase or decrease our tax contingencies. The timing of the resolution of income tax examinations and controversies is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued. It is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months we will receive additional assessments by various taxing authorities or reach resolutions of income tax examinations or controversies in one or more jurisdictions. These assessments, resolutions or law changes could result in changes to our gross unrecognized tax benefits. The actual amount of any changes could vary significantly depending on the ultimate timing and nature of any assessments, resolutions or law changes. An estimate of the amount or range of such changes cannot be made at this time.
