The Company’s federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward balance as of
December 31, 2018
was
$8,407,165,
which expires in varying amounts through
December 31, 2038.
 
The Company’s net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance as of
December 31, 2018
was
$2,231,703,
most of which relates to net operating loss carryforwards. The Company recorded an operating loss for the year and has a history of operating losses. After assessing the realization of the net deferred tax assets, we have recorded a valuation allowance of
100%
of the value of the net deferred tax assets as we believe it more likely than
not
that the Company will
not
realize operating profits and taxable income so as to utilize all of the net operating losses in the future. During the year ended
December 31, 2018,
the Company recorded an increase in the valuation allowance of
$106,560.
 
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and Florida state jurisdiction. With few exceptions, the Company is
no
longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by taxing authorities for the years before
2015.
 
The income tax provision differs from the expense that would result from applying statutory rate to income before income taxes principally because of permanent differences, state income taxes, the release of the valuation allowance, and the effect of the change in tax rate. The following is a reconciliation of the federal income tax provision at the federal statutory rate to the Company's tax provision attributable to continuing operations:

In connection with the initial analysis of the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), we remeasured our deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally
21%.
As a result, we recorded a decrease in our deferred tax assets of approximately
$1,067,000
with a corresponding adjustment to deferred income tax expense. This adjustment was fully offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance for the year ended
December 31, 2017.
