4.         Income Taxes

 

For the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have an income tax benefit nor provision because of continuing losses.

Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the loss carryforwards and the income tax carryforwards.  Management determined that it does not believe it is more likely than not that all of the net deferred tax assets will be realized.  Therefore, a valuation allowance has been recorded for the full net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

At December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $66,000 of research and development income tax credits available to reduce federal income taxes in future periods.  The credits expire from 2033-2037.  In addition, at December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $1,000,000 of net operating loss carryforwards, $750,000 of which will expire between 2034 and 2037.   The remaining balance of $250,000 will never expire but whose utilization is limited to 80% of taxable income in any future year.

 

The differences between the provision (benefit) for federal income taxes and federal income taxes computed using the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 21% were as follows:

Should the Company have future accrued interest expense and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions, they will recognize those expenses in income tax expense.

 

The Company files federal income tax returns in the United States only.  The Company is no longer subject to federal income tax examination by tax authorities for years before 2016.  The Company has evaluated all tax positions for open years and has concluded that they have no material unrecognized tax benefits or penalties.
