In connection with the 2020 Covenant merger, the Corporation received a net operating loss (“NOL”) available to be carried forward against future federal taxable income of $4.6 million. Availability of the NOL does not expire; however, the amount that may be offset against taxable income is limited to approximately $563,000 per year and further limited annually to no more than 80% of taxable income without regard to the NOL. At December 31, 2021, the unused amount of the NOL is $3.7 million.

The Corporation has no unrecognized tax benefits, nor pending examination issues related to tax positions taken in preparation of its income tax returns. With limited exceptions, the Corporation is no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years prior to 2018.
