As of December 31, 2024, deferred tax assets included federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2.0 million which were acquired through the merger with Community Shores. The loss carryforwards expire at various dates from 2031 to 2035. Deferred tax assets are recognized for net operating losses because the benefit is more likely than not to be realized. Under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, ChoiceOne is limited to applying approximately $185,000 of net operating losses per year.
