NOTE 9 — Taxes

 

Effective December 31, 2016, the Company released a full valuation allowance for deferred taxes and set up deferred tax assets on the balance sheet. With the consideration of available evidence, including three consecutive years of increasing net income and expectations for continued sustainable profitable operations, the Company believed that, in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC 740, it is more likely than not to realize the majority of the value of federal and state deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to monitor the likelihood that it will be able to recover the deferred tax assets in the future.

 

The Company has recorded a provision for income taxes of $340,765 and $20,285 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $980,754 and $60,855 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

The 2017 provision of $980,754 includes deferred tax expense of $926,464, federal alternative minimum tax expense of $41,387, and state alternative minimum tax expense of $12,903. The provisions for income tax for 2016 include federal alternative minimum tax expense of $27,750, state alternative minimum tax expense of $9,150, and deferred tax expense of $23,955.
