We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the statute of limitations for these jurisdictions is no longer open for audit or examinations for the years before 2016.

At December 31, 2020, we have various tax losses and tax credits that may be applied against future taxable income. The majority of such tax attributes will expire in 2026 through 2030; however, some may be carried forward indefinitely.
In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted. The CARES Act includes certain changes to U.S. tax law, which we do not believe had a significant impact on our 2020 effective tax rate.
