Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
At December 31, 2000, for income tax purposes, AmSouth had federal tax credit carryforwards of $25.2 million, of which $21.0 million are AMT tax credit carryforwards. The AMT tax credit carryforwards have no expiration date. The other federal tax credit carryforwards expire in 2010. AmSouth also had a deferred state tax asset of $20.1 million resulting from net operating loss carryforwards. These carryforwards begin expiring in 2005, with the last one expiring in 2020. There was no valuation allowance recorded in 2000 because it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized. Income taxes (refunded)/paid were $(5,927,000), $187,887,000 and $135,324,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
