Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJ Act”)
During the fourth quarter of 2017, the TCJ Act was enacted in the United States. Among its many provisions, the TCJ Act imposed a mandatory one-time transition tax on undistributed international earnings and reduced the U.S. corporate income tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. The Company is required to re-measure its deferred tax assets and liabilities to the new, lower U.S. corporate income tax rate, effective January 1, 2018. The effect of the remeasurement was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017, consistent with the enactment date of the TCJ Act, and reflected in the provision for income taxes. The Company has accumulated net operating loss carryovers of approximately $286,446 as of December 31, 2017, which are available to reduce future taxable income. Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of $145,660 for federal income tax reporting purposes may be subject to annual limitations. A change in ownership may limit the utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards in future years. The tax losses begin to expire in 2035. The fiscal years 2016 and 2017 remain open to examination by federal tax authorities and other tax jurisdictions.
 
As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, Digiwork had net operating loss carry forwards of $137,598 and $5,966, respectively, which will expire in various years through 2022. Its tax years 2016 and 2017 remain open to examination by the local authorities.
 
Management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize these potential tax benefits as these operations will not generate any operating profits in the foreseeable future. As a result, a valuation allowance was provided against the full amount of the potential tax benefits.
