A reconciliation of the statutory income tax rates and the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:

Permanent differences     6.0 %     6.0 %
Valuation allowance     15.00 %     15.00 %

Deferred tax assets:            
              Net operating loss carry-forwards   $ 6,248,363     $ 5,507,812  
                 
   
Total deferred tax assets   $ 6,248,363     $ 5,507,812  
                 
Valuation allowance     (6,248,363)       (5,507,812)  
Net deferred tax asset   $ -     $ -  
                   

 

At December 31, 2020, the Company had estimated U.S. federal net operating losses of approximately $29,798,000 for income tax purposes which will expire between 2029 and 2030. For financial reporting purposes, the entire amount of the net deferred tax assets has been offset by a valuation allowance due to uncertainty regarding the realization of the assets. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2020 was an increase of $3,523,934 mainly attributable to the loss incurred in the current year. The Company follows FASC 740-10-25 which requires a company to evaluate whether a tax position taken by the company will “more likely than not” be sustained upon examination by the appropriate tax authority. The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded.

 

The Company may not be able to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards for its US income taxes in future periods should it experience a change in ownership as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Under section 382, should the Company experience a more than 50% change in its ownership over a 3 year period, the Company would be limited based on a formula as defined in the IRC to the amount per year it could utilize in that year of the net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had not performed an analysis to determine if the Company was subject to the provisions of Section 382. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax including state and local jurisdictions. Currently, no federal or state income tax returns are under examination by the respective taxing jurisdictions.

 

The Company's accounting policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company has not accrued interest for any periods in which there are uncertain tax positions.
