Income Taxes

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has approximately $4,515,000 of operating loss carryforwards for federal that may be applied against future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in the year 2021 if not utilized prior to that date, expiring during various year through 2038. There is no provision for income taxes because the Company has historically incurred operating losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The net operating loss carryforwards could be subject to limitation in any given year in the event of a change in ownership as defined by IRC Section 382.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the US federal corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%. The most significant impact of the legislation for the Company was a $242,000 reduction of the value of net deferred tax assets (which represent future tax benefits) as a result of lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate from statutory rate of 34% to 21%.

The valuation allowance overall increased by approximately $148,000 and $324,000 during the year ended 2019 and 2018 and was approximately $1,711,000 and $1,562,000 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company has fully reserved the deferred tax asset resulting from available net operating loss carryforwards.

The income tax provision charged to continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:
