DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future tax effect created by differences between the timing of when income or deductions are recognized for pretax financial book reporting purposes versus income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets represent a future tax benefit (or reduction to income taxes in a future period), while deferred tax liabilities represent a future tax obligation (or increase to income taxes in a future period).

Net Operating Loss and Credit Carryforwards
Our gross federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2024 totaled $982 million as follows:
| | Federal — U.S. REITs — $535 million, $185 million of the total will begin to expire in 2034; U.S. TRSs — $79 million that do not expire; |
|---|---|
| | State — $368 million, $317 million of the total will begin to expire in 2028 and |
| | Foreign — none currently recorded. |
Our gross state credit carryforwards as of December 31, 2024 totaled$56 million, which includes$7 million that expire from 2025 through 2037. Our U.S. TRSs have $8 million in foreign tax credit carryforwards that expire from 2027 through 2031.
Valuation Allowances
With the exception of the valuation allowance discussed below, we believe it is more likely than not that we will have sufficient future taxable income to realize our deferred tax assets.
Our valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets was$68 million as of December 31, 2024, which related to state credits, state net operating losses and foreign tax credits.
UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS
Unrecognized tax benefits represent potential future obligations to taxing authorities if uncertain tax positions we have taken on previously filed tax returns are not sustained. In accordance with our accounting policy, we accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense (see Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies). The total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, as well as the activity during those years, were immaterial.
WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY >2024 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K 99
As of December 31, 2024, none of our U.S. federal income tax returns or foreign jurisdiction income tax returns are under examination. Our U.S. federal income tax returns are open to examination for years 2021 forward and foreign jurisdiction income tax returns are open to examination for years 2017 forward. We are undergoing examinations in state jurisdictions for tax years 2020 through 2022, with tax years 2009 forward open to examination. We do not expect that the outcome of any examination will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements; however, audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty.
