 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Corporation anticipates a change of $2 million in net unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. Included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets was a liability of $1 million for tax-related interest and penalties at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Net deferred tax assets were $882 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease of approximately $152 million in net deferred tax assets resulted primarily from decreases to deferred tax assets related to hedging gains and losses, net unrealized losses on investment securities available-for-sale and an increase in deferred tax liabilities related to defined benefit plans. Included in deferred tax assets were $2 million of state net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and $9 million of federal foreign tax carryforwards at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. State NOL carryforwards expire between 2025 and 2044 and federal foreign tax credit carryforwards expire between 2029 and 2035. The Corporation believes that it is more likely than not that the benefit from federal foreign tax credits and certain state NOL carryforwards will not be realized and, accordingly, maintains a federal valuation allowance of $9 million and a state valuation allowance of $2 million at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The determination regarding valuation allowance was based on evidence of loss carryback capacity, projected future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences to absorb the deferred tax assets and assumptions made regarding future events.
