As of December 31, 2024, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of $2,354,213 for federal tax purposes, which will be available to offset future taxable income and can be carried forward indefinitely but is subject to the 80% limitation on future taxable income under IRC §172. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has state net operating loss carryforwards of $255,646 for state tax purposes, which will be available to offset future Illinois taxable income and will expire after a 20-year carryforward period. As of December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any federal or state net operating loss carryforwards.

 

The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets related to its net operating loss carryforwards due to the uncertainty surrounding the realizability of the benefit, based on a more likely than not criteria and in consideration of available positive and negative evidence.

 

The Company’s income tax provision was computed based on the federal statutory rate and the average state statutory rates, net of the related federal benefit.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2024 and 2023

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

 

Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the net operating loss carryforwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities. Net operating loss carryforwards may become subject to an annual limitation in the event of certain cumulative changes in the ownership interest of significant shareholders over a three-year period in excess of 50 percent, as defined under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, respectively, as well as similar state provisions. This could limit the amount of tax attributes that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities. The amount of the annual limitation is determined based on the value of the Company immediately prior to the ownership change. Subsequent ownership changes may further affect the limitation in future years.

 

The Company will file tax returns in the United States and various states in which nexus is achieved. The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state tax examinations by tax authorities for years 2021 through present. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, interest, or penalties related to federal and state income tax matters and there are currently no pending tax examinations. The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

 

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.
