16. Provision For Income Taxes

 

We file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, we have recognized the minimum amount of state income tax as required by the states in which we are required to file taxes. We are not currently subject to further federal or state tax since we have incurred losses since our inception.

 

Income tax benefit consists of the following Federal, deferred components for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $18,762,000 and $19,129,000, respectively, which can be used to offset future federal income tax. A portion of the federal and state net operating loss carry forwards expire at various dates through 2040, and a portion of the net operating loss carry forwards have an indefinite carry forward period. We recorded a valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets as of both December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020. We intend to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve.
