The provision for income taxes on pre-tax income differs from the amount  computed  by applying the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 due to the following:

The deferred tax assets are adjusted by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that a portion or all the deferred assets will not be realized. The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize the deferred tax assets. After considering all of the evidence, both positive and negative, it was determined that it is more likely than not, that the benefit from certain state NOL carryforwards will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $0.3 million on the deferred tax assets related to these state NOL carryforwards as of December 31, 2020.

At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had net operating losses available for carry-forward for Federal income tax purposes of approximately $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. These net operating  loss carryforwards will expire on various dates through  2034. Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2020 are subject to annual  limitation  under Sec. 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. A deferred tax asset has been recorded only for those carryforwards that the Company expects to utilize prior to expiration.

The Company  and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions,  and in Ireland. Tax years beginning in 2017 through  2020 are open for examination by the U.S. Internal  Revenue Service and tax years beginning in 2016 through  2020 are open for examination by various state taxing jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to tax. Tax years beginning in 2016 through 2020 are open for examination by the Irish taxing authorities.

ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain  tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. ASC 740 also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting  in interim periods, and disclosure and transition. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no reserve for uncertain tax positions.
