12. Income Taxes

The Company did not record a provision or benefit for federal income taxes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company recorded state income tax expense of less than $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to interest income. There was no state income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against all of its deferred tax assets.

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence involving its ability to realize its deferred tax assets and has considered its history of cumulative net losses incurred since inception and its lack of any commercially ready products. The Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that it will not realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets. The Company reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period.

The Company has never been examined by the Internal Revenue Service or any other jurisdiction for any tax years and, as such, all years within the applicable statutes of limitations are potentially subject to audit.
