Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 11. Income Taxes For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate was 0%. The difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate is primarily driven by the presence of a full valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets. | Note 12.

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $9.4 million, of which $1.3 million will expire, if unused, between the years 2023 and 2037. As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. The Company has analyzed its income tax positions using the criteria required by U.S. GAAP and concluded that, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, it has no material uncertain tax positions and no interest and penalties have been accrued. The Company has elected to recognize any estimated penalties and interest on its income tax liabilities as a component of its provision for income taxes. Our income tax returns are subject to examination by income taxing authorities in all jurisdictions for which we file tax returns, generally for three years after each return was filed, but extending to years from which net operating loss carryforwards are utilized to reduce current year taxes. We are not currently under audit in any jurisdiction.
