ALPHA MODUS HOLDINGS, INC. Income Taxes Disclosure
NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES
As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of $3,834,075 and $2,240,166, respectively, which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2045. The Company’s net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to annual limitations, which could reduce or defer the utilization of the losses as a result of an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Company’s tax expense differs from the “expected” tax expense for Federal income tax purposes (computed by applying the United States Federal tax rate of 21% and state tax rate of 5% to loss before taxes for fiscal year 2025 and 2024), as follows:

The tax effects of the temporary differences between reportable financial statement income and taxable income are recognized as deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The tax effect of significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2025 and 2024, are as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||
| Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
| Net operating loss carryforward | $ | 3,834,075 | $ | 2,240,166 | ||||
| Timing differences | ||||||||
| Total gross deferred tax assets | 3,834,075 | 2,240,166 | ||||||
| Less: Deferred tax asset valuation allowance | (3,834,075 | ) | (2,240,166 | ) | ||||
| Total net deferred taxes | $ | $ | ||||||
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or 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 those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
Because of the historical earnings history of the Company, the net deferred tax assets for 2025 and 2024 were fully offset by a 100% valuation allowance. The valuation allowance for the remaining net deferred tax assets was $3,834,075 and $2,240,166 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The tax years 2021 – 2025 remain open to examination by federal agencies and other jurisdictions in which it operates.

About Income Taxes Disclosures
The income tax disclosure reveals how much a company actually pays in taxes versus what the statutory rate would predict. Analysts focus on the effective tax rate (ETR) reconciliation, which breaks down every item driving the gap between the 21% federal rate and the company's reported ETR — including R&D credits, foreign rate differentials, and state taxes. Deferred tax assets (DTAs) and their valuation allowances signal management's confidence in future profitability: a rising allowance suggests the company doubts it can use accumulated tax benefits. Uncertain tax benefit (UTB) reserves quantify exposure to IRS challenges on aggressive positions.
Key signals to watch: sudden ETR drops without clear operational reasons, large increases in valuation allowances, growing UTB balances, and significant unremitted foreign earnings. Post-TCJA, pay attention to GILTI and BEAT provisions that affect multinational tax structures. Compare the cash taxes paid (from the cash flow statement) against the income tax provision to gauge earnings quality.
