Net operating losses carryforward limits, description |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | the deduction for net operating losses incurred in tax years beginning after January 1, 2018 is limited to 80% of annual taxable income. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act provides for economic and cash liquidity stimulus through various means including payroll tax credits, payroll tax deferral, short-term changes in tax deductibility of interest expenses among other things. The Act also permits NOL carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. Previously, NOLs generated after December 31, 2017 were limited to 80% of taxable income in future years. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018 through 2021 to be carried back to each of the five preceding tax years. The Company evaluated the various aspects of the Act and determined that there was no material effect on the Financial Statements. |  |  |
