NOTE 16 – INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate was 0% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The effective tax rate differs from the federal tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 due primarily to the full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and other discrete items.
At December 31, 2023, the Company had federal and state net operating losses (“NOLs”) in the amount of approximately $48.2 million and $39.7 million. While the federal NOLs carryforward indefinitely, the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017 limits the amount of federal net operating loss utilized each year after December 31, 2020 to 80% of taxable income. The state NOLs begin to expire in 2031.
Income tax expense is recorded using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between amounts reported for income tax purposes and financial statement purposes, using current tax rates. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is anticipated that some or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company must assess the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent that the Company believes that recovery is not likely, it must establish a valuation allowance. Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets.
The Company and its subsidiaries’ income tax returns since 2019 remain subject to examination by tax jurisdictions. |
