Provision for Income Taxes

NOTE 11: PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 differs from the amount which would be expected as a result of applying the statutory tax rates to the losses before income taxes due primarily to the valuation allowance to fully reserve net deferred tax assets.

The following table summarizes the significant differences between the U.S. Federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate for financial statement purposes for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

	2018			2017
Federal income taxes at statutory rate		21.00	%		34.00	%
State income taxes at statutory rate		7.50	%		7.50	%
Temporary differences		7.75	%		0.00	%
Permanent differences		(0.71	)%		0.04	%
Impact of Tax Reform Act		(0.00	)%		(23.07	)%
Change in valuation allowance		(35.54	)%		(18.47	)%
Totals		0.00	%		0.00	%

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. As the achievement of required future taxable income is uncertain, the Company recorded a valuation allowance.

	As of			As of
	December 31, 2018			December 31, 2017
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating losses before non-deductible items	$	417,735		$	338,077
Depreciation		(2,827	)		-
Related party accrued interest		32,344			-
Total deferred tax assets		447,252			338,077
Less: Valuation allowance		(447,252	)		(338,077	)
Net deferred tax assets	$	-		$	-

As of December 31, 2018, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of $1,551,475 expiring through 2037. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against the full amount of the deferred tax asset due to management’s uncertainty about its realization. Furthermore, the net operating loss carry forward may be subject to further limitation pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The valuation allowance was increased by $109,175 in 2018.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act decreases the U.S. corporate federal income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% effective January 1, 2018. The impact of the re-measurement on the Corporation’s net deferred tax asset, as of December 31, 2017, was an approximately $31,000 decrease in deferred tax assets, with a corresponding decrease in the Company’s valuation allowance, and no impact on income tax expense. The Act also includes a number of other provisions including, among others, the elimination of net operating loss carrybacks and limitations on the use of future losses, the repeal of the Alternative Minimum Tax regime and the repeal of the domestic production activities deduction. These provisions are not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation.

Given the significant complexity of the Act and anticipated additional implementation guidance from the Internal Revenue Service, further implications of the Act may be identified in future periods.

The Company classifies income tax penalties and interest, if any, as part of other general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not expense any penalties or interest during the years ended December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017 and did not accrue any penalties or interest as of December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017.
