The provision for income taxes results in effective tax rates which are different than the federal income tax statutory rate. The nature of the differences for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

 

    2016     2015  
Expected federal income tax benefit   $ (798,000 )   $ (516,500 )
State income taxes after credits     (155,000 )     (100,260 )
Change in valuation allowance     953,000       616,760  
Total provision for income taxes   $ -     $ -  

 

The components of the net deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consisted of the following:

 

      2016     2015  
Deferred tax assets              
Net operating loss carryforwards   $ 2,483,679     1,582,317  
Stock-based compensation     124,958     61,050  
Total deferred tax assets     2,608,636     1,643,367  
               
Deferred tax liabilities

Valuation allowance     (2,534,479 )   (1,581,479 )
Net deferred tax assets   $ -     -  

 

At June 30, 2016, the Company has a cumulative net operating loss carryforward (NOL) of approximately $6.2 million, to offset against future income for federal and state tax purposes. These federal and state NOLs can be carried forward for 20 and 15 years, respectively. The federal NOLs begins to expire in 2034, and the state NOLs begins to expire in 2029.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Due to the uncertainty of the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management has determined a full valuation allowance is appropriate.
