There has historically been no federal provision for income taxes because the Company has historically incurred operating losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had an immaterial income tax (benefit) provision. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized a deferred foreign income tax benefit of $2.8 million related to the reversal of a deferred tax liability related to U.K. intangibles acquired in the Lemonaid Acquisition.
A reconciliation of income tax (benefit) computed at the statutory federal tax rate to the effective income tax rate is summarized as follows:

Deferred income taxes result from differences in the recognition of revenue and expenses for tax and financial reporting purposes, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Net deferred taxes$— $— 
The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on the remaining net deferred tax assets of the U.S. entity as it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the deferred tax assets. Utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to future annual limitations provided by Section 382 of the Code and similar state provisions.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $1.3 billion of federal and $814.0 million of state net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income, which will begin to expire in 2026 for federal and state tax purposes. Included in the $1.3 billion carryover losses is $900.0 million of net operating losses with an indefinite life. The Company does not have any federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $21.8 million capital loss carryforward, which will begin to expire in 2029. The change in the valuation allowance in the current year was an increase of $48.0 million primarily related to the increase of current year losses.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 and similar California legislation impose substantial limitations on the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, if there is a change in ownership as provided by Section 382 of the Code and similar state provisions. Such a limitation could result in the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits before utilization. We completed a Section 382 study through December 31, 2024 which did not identify any ownership changes which would limit our ability to utilize net operating losses or tax attributes prior to expiration. Further ownership changes subsequent to December 31, 2024 may be identified which could result in limitations to the amount of net operating losses and tax attributes which may be utilized prior to expiration.
Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and, in particular, any valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets. The Company determined that, due to the Company’s cumulative tax loss history and the difficulty in forecasting the timing of future revenue, it was necessary to maintain a valuation allowance to the full amount of the deferred tax asset. The Company determined that it was not more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax asset would be utilized.
The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized no interest and penalties associated with the unrecognized tax benefits. There are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date. If recognized, there would be no impact on the Company’s effective tax rate due to its valuation allowance.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states, and the U.K. The Company is not currently under examination by income tax authorities in federal, state, or other jurisdictions. All tax returns will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities for three and four years, respectively, from the date of utilization of any net operating loss or credits.
In 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development developed guidance on Base Erosion and Profit Sharing Pillar Two Model Rules (“Pillar Two”), which addresses corporate tax planning strategies used by some large multinational corporations to shift profits from higher-tax jurisdictions to lower-tax jurisdictions or zero-tax locations. This guidance imposes a 15% minimum tax on the earnings of large multinational corporations. The Company does not currently operate in any jurisdictions in which Pillar Two is expected to be effective in 2025. The Company does not expect these rules to have a significant impact on its effective tax rate or its consolidated financial statements.
