NOTE 8. INCOME TAX

 

The Company's deferred tax assets (liabilities) at December 31, 2018 and the provision for income taxes for the period from November 5, 2018 (inception) through December 31, 2018 were deemed to be de minimis.

 

The Company's deferred tax liability is as follows:

 

  

December 31,
2019

 
Deferred tax liability    
Unrealized gain on marketable securities  $(27,069)
Deferred tax liability  $(27,069)

 

The income tax provision consists of the following:

 

  

December 31,
2019

 
Federal    
Current  $868,182 
Deferred   27,069 
      
State     
Current  $ 
Deferred    
Income tax provision  $895,251 

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryovers available to offset future taxable income.

 

In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

 

A reconciliation of the federal income tax rate to the Company's effective tax rate at December 31, 2019 is as follows:

 

  

December 31,
2019

 
     
Statutory federal income tax rate   21.0%
State taxes, net of federal tax benefit   0.0%
Income tax provision   21.0%

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction in various state and local jurisdictions and is subject to examination by the various taxing authorities. The Company's tax returns since inception remain open and subject to examination. The Company considers New York to be a significant state tax jurisdiction.
