Note 12. Income Taxes

During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate was 2.2% and 13.6%, respectively. The Company records income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate for interim reporting.  The primary factors contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 were state taxes, changes in valuation allowance, and permanent items. A valuation allowance was recorded during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 increasing the tax benefit by $54,592. During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s effective tax rate was 0%. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, is primarily driven by the presence of a full valuation allowance in all jurisdictions.
