| INCOME TAXES | NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
We currently have no current tax liability, as we have had limited revenue and incurred losses since inception.
On December 22, 2017 H.R. 1, originally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. Among the significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Tax Act lowers the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate (“Federal Tax Rate”) from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2019. The Company will compute its income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 using a Federal Tax Rate of 21%.
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740-10-25 Income Taxes – Recognition. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard required by ASC 740-10-25-5.
Deferred income tax amounts reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes.
As of March 31, 2023, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $(13,510,717) and a deferred tax asset of approximately $2,828,691 using the statutory rate of 21%. The deferred tax asset may be recognized in future periods, not to exceed 20 years for 2020 and prior and post 2018 are indefinite.
However, due to the uncertainty of future events, we have booked valuation allowance of $(2,828,691. FASB ASC 740 prescribes recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. At March 31, 2023 the Company had not taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740.
The Company is subject to tax in the U.S. federal and Washington jurisdictions. These filings are subject to a three-year statute of limitations unless the returns have not been filed at which point the statute of limitations becomes indefinite. No filings are currently under examination. No adjustments have been made to reduce the estimated income tax benefit at year end. Any valuations relating to these income tax provisions will comply with U.S. generally Accepted Accounting principles. |
