Note 9.  Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2023, adjusted for permanent differences and specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred.

Following is the income tax expense for the three months ended March 31:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and financial reporting purposes. The Company had net operating loss carryforwards available for federal and state tax purposes of approximately $42,000 at December 31, 2022, which expires in 2038.

As of December 31, 2022, management determined that there was sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that deferred taxes of $151,164 were realizable principally because we achieved six consecutive years of pretax income, expect profits to continue for the foreseeable future and implemented new efficiencies in the Company’s manufacturing process. As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. Accordingly, management determined that no valuation allowance was necessary, and the deferred tax asset was $34,231 at March 31, 2023.
