At December 31, 2024, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) for income tax purposes of approximately $191.9 million related to the years after December 31, 2017 that do not have an expiration under current tax law and $8.2 million related to the years before January 1, 2018 subject to expiration after application of limitation set forth in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“§382”). The Company had state NOLs for income tax purposes of approximately $238.2 million as of December 31, 2024. The state NOLs may be used to offset future taxable income and will begin to expire in 2029, unless previously utilized. In accordance with §382, future utilization of the Company’s NOLs is subject to an annual limitation as a result of ownership changes that occurred previously. The Company also maintains NOLs in various foreign jurisdictions. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not some portion or all deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all positive and negative evidence, including the Company’s generation of NOLs in current and prior periods, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to utilize its deferred tax assets, therefore, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the valuation allowance decreased by $41.5 million. The net income tax provision (benefit) on continuing operations consisted of the following:
Schedule of reconciliation of income tax attributable to operations |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
Current |  |  |  |  |  |
U.S. Federal |  | $ | 51,000 |  |  | $ | 424,000 |

Total provision for income taxes |  | $ | 56,000 |  |  | $ | 348,000 |
The Company’s effective tax rates were (0.1)% and (0.1)% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the change in valuation allowance. The reconciliation of income tax attributable to operations computed at U.S. Federal statutory income tax rates of 21% to income tax expense is as follows:
Schedule of effective income tax rate reconciliation |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
Expected federal income tax benefit |  |  | 21.0 | % |  |  | 21.0 | %
State taxes net of federal benefit |  |  | 8.2 | % |  |  | -1.5 | %
Effect of change in valuation allowance |  |  | 79.6 | % |  |  | -19.1 | %
Permanent differences |  |  | 2.6 | % |  |  | 1.4 | %
Goodwill impairment |  |  | - |  |  |  | -2.2 | %
IRC Section 162(m) compensation limitation |  |  | - |  |  |  | 0.0 | %
Excess tax benefit - windfall/(shortfall) |  |  | - |  |  |  | -0.3 | %
Deconsolidation adjustments |  |  | -110.5 | % |  |  | - |
Foreign rate differential |  |  | 0.1 | % |  |  | - |
Other |  |  | -1.1 | % |  |  | 0.5 | %
Income tax benefit |  |  | -0.1 | % |  |  | -0.1 | %
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10-25. ASC 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amount recorded, such differences impact income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made. Interest and penalties, if any, related to accrued liabilities for potential tax assessments are included in income tax expense. ASC 740-10-25 also requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Company and recognize a liability if the Company has taken uncertain tax positions that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by applicable taxing authorities. Management of the Company has evaluated tax positions taken by the Company and has concluded that as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there are no uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, that would require recognition of a liability that would require disclosure in the financial statements. In general, the Company’s statute of limitations remains open for various taxable years, in various U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. However, if and when the Company claims net operating loss carryforwards against future taxable income, those losses may be examined by taxing authorities. The Company will perform an analysis to determine the effect, if any, of these loss limitations rules on the NOL carryforward balances. Earnings in all foreign jurisdictions are permanently reinvested.
