On December 21, 2020, Congress approved the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (the “Appropriations Act”), which was signed into law by the President on December 27, 2020. The Appropriations Act funds the federal government to the end of the fiscal year and provides further COVID-19 economic relief. Some of the business provisions included in the Appropriations Act are additional Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans, clarification of the deductibility of business expenses that were paid for with PPP funds, expansion of the employee retention credit, and temporary full deduction for business expenses for food and beverages provided by a restaurant. The Appropriations Act did not have a material impact on the Company’s income taxes. The Company will continue to monitor for additional legislation related to COVID-19 and its impact on our results of operations.
The Company has significant deferred tax assets, a substantial amount of which result from operating loss carryforwards. The Company routinely evaluates its ability to realize the benefits of these assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that such benefit will be realized. In accordance with the history of losses generated, the Company believes that for the year ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company re-established a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets.
The benefit (provision) for income taxes for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019 is comprised of the following:

As of June 30, 2021 the Company had federal and state operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 187 million and $ 221 million, respectively, to offset future taxable income. As of June 30, 2020 the Company had federal and state operating loss carryforwards of approximately $182 million and $221 million, respectively, to offset future taxable income. The timing and extent to which the Company can utilize operating loss carryforwards in any year may be limited because of provisions of the Internal Revenue Code regarding changes in ownership of corporations (i.e. IRS Code Section 382). Federal and state operating loss carryforwards start to expire in 2022 and certain state operating loss carryforwards are currently expiring.
The net deferred tax assets arose primarily from net operating loss carryforwards, as well as the use of different accounting methods for financial statement and income tax reporting purposes as follows:

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had total unrecognized income tax benefits of $0.4 million related to its nexus in certain state tax jurisdictions.
