At December 31, 2023, the Company had net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards for federal and state tax purposes of approximately $25,753,000 which begins to expire in 2034. The 20-year carryforward period has been replaced with an indefinite carryforward period for these NOLs generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and future years. Accordingly, the amount of Federal NOLs that were generated in the tax year December 31, 2014 in the amount of $1,290,156 will expire after December 31, 2034. The amount of NOLs that were generated in the tax year December 31, 2015 in the amount of $1,545,343 will expire after December 31, 2035. The amount of NOLs that were generated in the tax year December 31, 2016 in the amount of $794,762 will expire after December 31, 2036. The amount of NOLs that were generated in the tax year December 31, 2017 in the amount of $1,084,564 will expire after December 31, 2037. The NOLs generated in the tax years December 31, 2018 in the amounts of $11,899,437 and onwards will have an indefinite life per current U.S. federal income tax legislation. Prior to the February 5, 2014 merger, the Company had generated net operating losses, which the Company’s preliminary analysis indicates would be subject to significant limitations pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company has not completed its IRC Section 382 Valuation, as required and the NOL’s because of potential Change of Ownerships might be completely worthless. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a deferred tax liability related to the unrealized gains on its crypto assets amounting to $715,899. The final tax impact could significantly differ from current estimates due to future market fluctuations and changes in tax laws. Therefore, Management of the Company has recorded a Full Valuation Reserve, since it is more likely than not that no benefit will be realized for the Deferred Tax Assets. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and taxing strategies in making this assessment. In case the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of the deferred tax assets at December 31, 2023 and 2022. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $18,000 as of December 31, 2023. The expected tax expense (benefit) based on the U.S. federal statutory rate is reconciled with actual tax expense (benefit) as follows: Schedule of Income Tax Rate
