Income Taxes
Note 10. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $0.9 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $2.9 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 consisted primarily of foreign income taxes and state minimum taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the provision for income taxes differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to foreign and state taxes currently payable. The Company realized no benefit for the current year losses due to the full valuation allowance against the U.S. and foreign net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions.
The realization of tax benefits of net deferred tax assets is dependent upon future levels of taxable income, of an appropriate character, in the periods the items are expected to be deductible or taxable. Based on the available objective evidence, the Company does not believe it is more likely than not that certain net deferred tax assets will be realizable. Accordingly, the Company continues to provide a full valuation allowance against the entire domestic and the majority of the
foreign net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company intends to maintain the full valuation allowance on the U.S. and certain foreign net deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence exists to support a reversal of, or decrease in, the valuation allowance.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were no material changes to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits.
The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act amended Sec. 174 to require that specified research and experimental (SR&E) expenditures be capitalized and amortized over five years or fifteen years depending on where the expenditures are incurred. This provision applies to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2022. Additionally, the final FTC regulations were published in the Federal Register on January 4, 2022 which resulted in significant changes and updates for allocation and apportionment of foreign taxes, creditability of foreign taxes and other provisions affecting FTC calculation. The final FTC regulations are generally effective for foreign taxes paid or accrued in tax years beginning on or after December 28, 2021. Due to full valuation allowance position and taxable loss for the US jurisdiction, the Company does not believe that either of these new provisions will have a material impact on its financial statements.
