As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no U.S. federal net operating loss carryovers available to offset future taxable income. The federal net operating loss can be carried forward indefinitely. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any 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. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the change in the valuation allowance were $82,007 and $672, respectively.

A reconciliation of the federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:

	December 31,			December 31,
	2023			2022
Statutory federal income tax rate		21.0	%		21.0	%
Fair value of compensation expense		2.3	%		0.0	%
Change in valuation allowance		4.4	%		(16.7	)%
Income tax provision		27.7	%		4.3	%

The Company’s effective tax rates for the periods presented differ from the expected (statutory) rates due to stock-based compensation expense and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets related to organization expenses.

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.
