Income Taxes

10. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate in accordance with ASC 740-270, Income Taxes, Interim Reporting. The effective tax rate may be subject to fluctuations during the year as new information is obtained, which may affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including factors such as valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition or de-recognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, if any, and changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where Oncocyte conducts business.

Oncocyte did not record any provision or benefit for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, as Oncocyte had a full valuation allowance for the periods presented.

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Oncocyte established a full valuation allowance for all periods presented due to the uncertainty of realizing future tax benefits from its net operating loss carry-forwards and other deferred tax assets.
