NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES

As of March 31, 2018, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5,893,235, which will expire beginning at the end of 2036. A valuation allowance has been provided for the deferred tax asset as it is uncertain whether the Company will have future taxable income.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). The Tax Act reduces the corporate tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018. Consequently, we have recorded an adjustment to the deferred tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Reconciliation of the benefit (expense) for income taxes with amounts determined by applying the statutory federal income rate of 21% in 2018 and 34% in 2017 and 2016 to the respective losses before income taxes as follows:

    2018     2017     2016
