13. INCOME TAXES
The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was approximately $39,000 comprised of current state tax expense of $30,000 and foreign tax expense of $9,000. There was no deferred income tax recorded. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was approximately $65,000 comprised of a current state tax expense of $39,000 and a deferred tax expense of $26,000.
The current income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 primarily relates to state minimum taxes and foreign income taxes. The deferred tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2023 relates to the book and tax difference of amortization on indefinite-lived intangibles, primarily goodwill. To the extent allowable, prior to January 1, 2024, the federal and state deferred tax provision had been offset by the indefinite life net operating loss. As a result of the goodwill impairment charge recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023, no deferred tax liability is required.
The Company has incurred cumulative losses, which make realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the federal and state deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
