A reconciliation of the Company’s effective tax rate to the statutory federal rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:
Description |  | September 30, 2023 |  |  | September 30, 2022 |
Statutory federal rate |  |  | 21.00 | % |  |  | 21.00 | %
State income taxes net of federal income tax benefit and others |  |  | 6.98 | % |  |  | 6.98 | %
Permanent differences for tax purposes and others |  |  | 0.00 | % |  |  | 0.00 | %
Change in valuation allowance |  |  | -27.98 | % |  |  | -27.98 | %
Effective tax rate |  |  | 0 | % |  |  | 0 | %
The income tax benefit differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due to California state income taxes of 8.84% and changes in the valuation allowance. Deferred income taxes reflect the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
Deferred tax assets |  | September 30, 2023 |  |  | December 31, 2022 |
Deferred tax assets: |  |  |  |  |  |
Net operating loss |  | $ | 3,356,308 |  |  | $ | 2,515,031 |
Other temporary differences |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |
Total deferred tax assets |  |  | 3,356,308 |  |  |  | 2,515,031 |
Less - valuation allowance |  |  | (3,356,308 | ) |  |  | (2,515,031 | )
Total deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had available net operating loss carryovers of approximately $2,515,000. Per the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) implemented in 2018, the two-year carryback provision was removed and now allows for an indefinite carryforward period. The carryforwards are limited to 80% of each subsequent year’s net income. As a result, net operating loss may be applied against future taxable income and expires at various dates subject to certain limitations. The Company has a deferred tax asset arising substantially from the benefits of such net operating loss deduction and has recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of this deferred tax asset since it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and California and is subject to income tax examinations by federal tax authorities for tax year ended 2018 and later and subject to California authorities for tax year ended 2017 and later. The Company currently is not under examination by any tax authority. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cumulative net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes of approximately $3,356,000. In addition, the Company had state tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,356,000. The carryforwards may be applied against future taxable income and expires at various dates subject to certain limitations.
