Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740. Under ASC 740, the Company provides deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the Company’s financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not record a current or deferred income tax expense or benefit. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, as the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Utilization of the net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation under Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code due to ownership change limitations that have occurred previously, or that could occur in the future. These ownership changes may limit the amount of net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the Company completed a Section 382 study. The Company has determined that all of the $234.5 million of net operating losses are available in the future, with approximately $36.5 million of that total limited under Section 382 and therefore available for future use through 2028. The Company applies ASC 740, Income Taxes to uncertain tax positions. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits or related interest and penalties accrued. The Company has not, as of yet, conducted a study of its research and development credit carryforwards. This study may result in an adjustment to the Company’s research and development credit carryforwards; however, until a study is completed, and any adjustment is known, no amounts are being presented as an uncertain tax position. The statute of limitations for assessment by the United States Internal Revenue Service and Massachusetts tax authorities is open for tax years since inception. The Company files income tax returns in the United States and Massachusetts. There are currently no federal, state or foreign audits in progress.
