As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryover of approximately $0 and $137,000 available to offset future taxable income indefinitely, respectively.

 

In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the 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 liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the change in the valuation allowance was $572,885 and $300,205, respectively.

 

A reconciliation of the federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:
