NOTE C – INCOME TAXES

We use the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes.

On a regular basis, management evaluates all available evidence, both positive and negative, regarding the ultimate realization of the tax benefits of our deferred tax assets. Based upon the historical trend of increasing earnings management concluded that it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be realized from our deferred tax assets and therefore eliminated the previously recorded valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2020. Elimination of the valuation allowance resulted in a deferred tax asset at December 31, 2021, of approximately $38,000 which was fully utilized in the 1st quarter of 2022.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was signed by the President of the United States and enacted into law on December 22, 2017. The TCJA significantly changed U.S. tax law by reducing the U.S. corporate income tax rate to 21.0% from 35.0%, adopting a territorial tax regime, creating new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings and imposing a one-time transition tax on the undistributed earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries.
