Although future distributions of foreign earnings to the United States should not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, other U.S. or foreign taxes may be imposed on such earnings. We have analyzed existing factors and determined we will no longer permanently reinvest certain foreign earnings. On these undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $592 million that are no longer permanently reinvested outside of the United States, we have recorded a deferred tax liability of $23 million. The remaining undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $1,170 million remain permanently reinvested outside the United States at June 30, 2026. Of these undistributed earnings, we have recorded a deferred tax liability of $18 million where certain foreign holding companies are not permanently reinvested in their subsidiaries. It is not practicable to estimate the additional taxes, including applicable foreign withholding taxes, which might be payable on the potential distribution of such permanently reinvested foreign earnings.
As of June 30, 2026, we have the following net operating losses, capital losses, tax credits, other loss carryforwards and related valuation allowances:
Tax loss and credit carryforwardsDeferred AssetsValuation AllowanceExpiration
Federal net operating losses$1 $1 2028-2029
Federal credits40 12 2029-2036
State net operating losses2  2027-2042
State credits5  2027-Unlimited
Foreign net operating losses22 18 2027-Unlimited
Foreign capital and other losses83 83 Unlimited
Total$153 $114 
Included in the table above are valuation allowances of $99 million that relate to non-operating entities whose loss carryforward utilization is considered to be remote. An additional valuation allowance, not included in the table
above, of $25 million, is related to other deferred tax assets and has been established due to the uncertainty of their realization.
The following schedule presents the changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowance as follows:

During the year ended June 30, 2025, we completed an initiative that simplified our foreign legal entity structure. The initiative impacted our evaluation of certain foreign tax loss carryforwards whose realizability was previously considered to be remote. This led to a valuation allowance release and the recording of a $180 million discrete tax benefit. Additionally, as a result of the initiative, $784 million in deferred tax assets for certain other foreign tax loss carryforwards whose realizability was previously considered to be remote, and the associated valuation allowances, were also written off.

The accrued interest related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amounts above, was $22 million, $28 million, and $27 million as of June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The accrued penalties related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amounts above, was $2 million as of June 30, 2026, 2025, and 2024.
We file income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. We are open to assessment of our U.S. federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service for years after 2013, and our state and local income tax returns for years after 2018. We are open to assessment for significant foreign jurisdictions for years after 2014.
