 or a portion of our deferred tax assets. We consider all available positive and negative evidence, including historical results of operations, projected future taxable income, carryback potential and scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider three years of consolidated cumulative operating income (loss). At December 31, 2024, we had TRS net operating loss carry forwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $65.3 million, of which $45.8 million is subject to expiration and will begin to expire in 2025. The remainder was generated after December 31, 2017 and is not subject to expiration under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The loss carry forwards subject to expiration may be available to offset future taxable income, if any, for 2025 through 2035, with the remainder available to offset taxable income beyond 2035; however, there could be substantial limitations on their use imposed by the Code. Management determined that it is more likely than not that $16.5 million of our net deferred tax assets will not be realized and a valuation allowance has been recorded accordingly. At December 31, 2024, Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc., our REIT, had net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $109.7 million based on the latest filed tax return. Of this amount, $2.2 million is subject to expiration in 2033. The remainder is not subject to expiration under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

The “Income Taxes” Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) addresses the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The guidance requires us to determine whether tax positions we have taken or expect to take in a tax return are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority based on the technical merits of the positions. Tax positions that do not meet the more likely than not threshold would be recorded as additional tax expense in the current period. We analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations for each jurisdiction, which includes the federal jurisdiction and various states. We classify interest and penalties related to underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense. We and our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and cities. Tax years 2020 through 2024 remain subject to potential examination by certain federal and state taxing
