the company is currently under audit by the internal revenue service and other major taxing jurisdictions around the world .
it is thus reasonably possible that significant changes in the gross balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next 12 months , but the company does not expect such audits to result in amounts that would cause a significant change to its effective tax rate , other than the following items .
the company is currently at irs appeals for the years 1999 20132002 .
one of the issues relates to the timing of the inclusion of interchange fees received by the company relating to credit card purchases by its cardholders .
it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the company can either reach agreement on this issue at appeals or decide to litigate the issue .
this issue is presently being litigated by another company in a united states tax court case .
the gross uncertain tax position for this item at december 31 , 2008 is $ 542 million .
since this is a temporary difference , the only effect to the company 2019s effective tax rate would be due to net interest and state tax rate differentials .
if the reserve were to be released , the tax benefit could be as much as $ 168 million .
in addition , the company expects to conclude the irs audit of its u.s .
federal consolidated income tax returns for the years 2003 20132005 within the next 12 months .
the gross uncertain tax position at december 31 , 2008 for the items expected to be resolved is approximately $ 350 million plus gross interest of $ 70 million .
the potential net tax benefit to continuing operations could be approximately $ 325 million .

income taxes are not provided for on the company 2019s savings bank base year bad debt reserves that arose before 1988 because under current u.s .
tax rules such taxes will become payable only to the extent such amounts are distributed in excess of limits prescribed by federal law .
at december 31 , 2008 , the amount of the base year reserves totaled approximately $ 358 million ( subject to a tax of $ 125 million ) .
the company has no valuation allowance on deferred tax assets at december 31 , 2008 and december 31 , 2007 .

the company has state and local net operating loss carryforwards of $ 16.2 billion and $ 4.9 billion in new york state and new york city , respectively .
this consists of $ 2.4 billion and $ 1.2 billion , whose expiration date is 2027 and $ 13.8 billion and $ 3.7 billion whose expiration date is 2028 and for which the company has recorded a deferred-tax asset of $ 1.2 billion , along with less significant net operating losses in various other states for which the company has recorded a deferred-tax asset of $ 399 million and which expire between 2012 and 2028 .

although realization is not assured , the company believes that the realization of the recognized net deferred tax asset of $ 44.5 billion is more likely than not based on expectations as to future taxable income in the jurisdictions in which it operates and available tax planning strategies , as defined in sfas 109 , that could be implemented if necessary to prevent a carryforward from expiring .
the company 2019s net deferred tax asset ( dta ) of $ 44.5 billion consists of approximately $ 36.5 billion of net u.s .
federal dtas , $ 4 billion of net state dtas and $ 4 billion of net foreign dtas .
included in the net federal dta of $ 36.5 billion are deferred tax liabilities of $ 4 billion that will reverse in the relevant carryforward period and may be used to support the dta .
the major components of the u.s .
federal dta are $ 10.5 billion in foreign tax-credit carryforwards , $ 4.6 billion in a net-operating-loss carryforward , $ 0.6 billion in a general-business-credit carryforward , $ 19.9 billion in net deductions that have not yet been taken on a tax return , and $ 0.9 billion in compensation deductions , which reduced additional paid-in capital in january 2009 and for which sfas 123 ( r ) did not permit any adjustment to such dta at december 31 , 2008 because the related stock compensation was not yet deductible to the company .
in general , citigroup would need to generate approximately $ 85 billion of taxable income during the respective carryforward periods to fully realize its federal , state and local dtas. .
