Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 12 — INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Temporary differences are differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. 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. A valuation allowance is recorded when the ultimate realization of a deferred tax is uncertain. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented below:
Deferred tax assets: |  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Net operating loss carry forwards |  | $ | 5,329,518 |  |  | $ | 5,014,461 |
Less valuation allowance |  |  | (5,329,518 | ) |  |  | (5,014,461 | )
Net deferred tax asset |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |
At this time, the Company is unable to determine if it will be able to benefit from its deferred tax asset. There are limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards, including a requirement that losses be offset against future taxable income, if any. In addition, there are limitations imposed by certain transactions, which are deemed to be ownership changes. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established for the entire deferred tax asset. The approximate net operating loss carry forward was $25,378,656 and $23,878,387 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively and will start to expire in 2031. The Company’s tax return for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017 are open to IRS inspection. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21%, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, and the transition of U.S international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. As a result of the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% under the Tax Act, we revalued our ending net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2017, which were fully offset by a valuation allowance.
