TAX ASSETS

I admit to being very surprised to see such a huge number - value left after how much tax deferred asset was already sent over

Can anyone verify and or explain

Here I think is the key section from that link and comments after

As of December 31, 2012, we had a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets of $58.9 billion. After weighing all of the evidence, we determined that the positive evidence in favor of releasing the valuation allowance, particularly the evidence that was objectively verifiable, outweighed the negative evidence against releasing the allowance as of March 31, 2013. Therefore, we concluded that it was more likely than not that our deferred tax assets, except the deferred tax assets relating to capital loss carryforwards, would be realized. As a result, we released the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2013, except for amounts that were expected to be released against income before federal income taxes for the remainder of the year. We recognized a benefit for federal income taxes of $58.3 billion in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2013 related to the release of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, partially offset by our 2013 provision for federal income taxes, resulting in a net tax benefit of $45.4 billion in 2013. As of December 31, 2014, we continued to conclude that the positive evidence in favor of the recoverability of our deferred tax assets outweighed the negative evidence and that it was more likely than not that our deferred tax assets, except the deferred tax assets relating to capital loss carryforwards, will be realized. The balance of our net deferred tax assets was $42.2 billion as of December 31, 2014, compared with net deferred tax assets of $47.6 billion as of December 31, 2013.
