Note 8 – Deferred Tax Assets and Income Tax Provision
Deferred Tax Assets
At December 31, 2017, the Company had net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes of $764,155 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2036. No tax benefit has been reported with respect to these net operating loss carry-forwards in the accompanying financial statements because the Company believes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets of approximately $160,473 was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carry-forwards are fully offset by a full valuation allowance.
Deferred tax assets consist primarily of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding its realization. The valuation allowance decreased approximately $90,843 and increased approximately $17,280 for the reporting period ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Components of deferred tax assets are as follows:
