Income Taxes | 8. Income Taxes There is no provision for federal income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 due to the availability of federal and state net operating loss (NOLs) carryforwards. At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our Company had federal NOLs approximating $1,166,100 and $1,622,000, respectively and state NOLs approximating $2,647,000 and $2,843,100, respectively. The federal and state net operating losses at December 31, 2020 are available to offset future taxable income; however, if not utilized, they expire in varying amounts through the year 2032. The utilization of these NOLs to reduce future income taxes will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration. There were no material temporary differences for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Our Company has established a 100% valuation allowance of $456,700 and $454,200 at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, for the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of their realization. The components for state income tax expense resulting from the limitation on the use of net operating losses are: Year ended December 31 2020 2019 Current state taxes $ 29,400 $ 52,400 Deferred state taxes (47,400 ) $ (18,000 ) $ 52,400 The reconciliation of the statutory federal rate to our Companys effective tax rate follows: 2020 2019 Amount % Amount % Income tax at U.S. federal income tax rate $ 106,700 21 $ 158,600 21 State tax net of federal tax effect (18,100 ) (4 ) 52,300 7 Other 15,800 3 Change in valuation allowance (122,500 ) (24 ) (158,600 ) (21 ) $ (18,100 ) (4 ) $ 52,300 7 The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows: 2020 2019 Deferred tax asset for NOL carryforwards $ 456,700 $ 454,200 Deferred tax liability - other (47,400 ) Valuation allowance (456,700 ) (454,200 ) $ $ (47,400 ) Our Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-50-15, Unrecognized Tax Benefit Related Disclosures.
