Income Taxes | NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Income tax expense consists of the following:

At December 31, 2019, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards from acquisitions of approximately $32,000 for federal, zero for California, $9.6 million for New York State and $8.8 million for New York City income tax purposes. Net operating loss carry forwards, to the extent not used will begin to expire in 2028. Net operating loss carryforwards available from acquisitions are substantially limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and benefits not expected to be realized due to the limitation have been excluded from the deferred tax asset and net operating loss carryforward amounts noted above. The Company acquired operating loss carryforwards in its acquisitions that were subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The amount of net operating loss carry forwards subject to the 382 limitations amounts to $3.8 million, $11.4 million, $12.3 million and $9.3 million for federal, California, New York State and New York City income tax purposes, respectively. The Company is subject to federal income tax and franchise tax of the state of California and New York. Income tax returns for the years ended after December 31, 2015 are open to audit by the federal and New York authorities and for the years ended after December 31, 2014 are open to audit by California state authorities. There were no recorded interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of income tax for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. The Company has determined that as of December 31, 2019 all tax positions taken to date are highly certain and, accordingly, no accounting adjustment has been made to the consolidated financial statements.
