Linkhome Holdings Inc. Income Taxes Disclosure
NOTE 10 — INCOME TAXES
Linkhome Holdings was incorporated in the State of Nevada in November 2023 and is subject to a 21% corporate federal income tax rate. There is no state income tax in Nevada. Linkhome Holdings serves as a holding company for Linkhome Realty.
Effective July 13, 2021, Linkhome Realty elected to be taxed as an S-corporation, a pass-through entity, for which the income, losses, deductions, and credits flow through to the shareholders of the Company for federal tax purposes. The California state annual income tax for S-corporation is the greater of 1.5% of the corporation’s net income or $800. Effective January 1, 2024, Linkhome Realty’s tax status changed to C-corporation, subject to a 21% corporate federal income tax rate and an 8.84% California state income tax rate.
Effective for the tax year beginning January 1, 2024, and continuing thereafter unless revoked, Linkhome Holdings and Linkhome Realty have elected to file a consolidated federal income tax return. As a result, Linkhome Holdings’ net operating losses (“NOLs”) can be used to offset Linkhome Realty’s taxable income, reducing the Company’s overall tax liability.
The Company’s provision for income taxes consisted of the following:
| Year Ended December 31, 2025 | Year Ended December 31, 2024 | |||||||
| Current: | ||||||||
| Federal income tax expense | $ | 22,865 | $ | 207,469 | ||||

| Adjustments related to prior-year tax returns | (1,197 | ) | ||||||
| Total income tax expense | $ | 51,333 | $ | 309,352 | ||||
The following tables reconciled the federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
| Year Ended December 31, 2025 | Year Ended December 31, 2024 | |||||||
| Federal statutory income tax rate | 21.00 | % | 21.00 | % | ||||

| Prior-year return-to-provision adjustment | (0.95 | )% | ||||||
| Effective tax rate | 40.67 | % | 28.44 | % | ||||
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the net deferred tax assets consisted of the following:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||
| Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
| Capital loss carryforward | $ | 742 | $ | |||||
| Less: valuation allowance | ||||||||
| Deferred tax assets, net | $ | 742 | $ | |||||
The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements at the end of each reporting period by reviewing all available evidence, both positive and negative, and assessing whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had deferred tax assets of $742 related to capital loss carryforwards generated from realized losses on trading securities. Management evaluated the available evidence regarding the realizability of this deferred tax asset and concluded that a valuation allowance was required as of December 31, 2025.

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.
