10. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 0.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 and the Company’s overall effective tax rate of 0.0% was the effect of equity compensation and the valuation allowance recorded against the full amount of its net deferred tax assets.

Valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible.

The Company is subject to tax in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and the states of Connecticut and Massachusetts. The Company pays franchise tax in the states mentioned above due to its loss position. As a result, there is no state income tax provision recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
