NOTE 14: INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The primary temporary differences that give rise to the deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: accrued expenses.

Deferred tax assets consisted of $23,662 and $225,248 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which was fully reserved. Deferred tax assets consist of net operating loss carryforwards in the amount of $435,983 and $412,321 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which was fully reserved. The net operating loss carryforwards for year 2022 begin to expire in 2042. The application of net operating loss carryforwards are subject to certain limitations as provided for in the tax code. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law on December 22, 2017, and reduced the corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21%. The Company’s deferred tax assets, liabilities, and valuation allowance reflect the impact of the tax law.

The Company’s effective income tax rate is lower than what would be expected if the U.S. federal statutory rate (21%) were applied to income before income taxes primarily due to certain expenses being deductible for tax purposes but not for financial reporting purposes. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. All years are open to examination as of December 31, 2024.
