| Income Taxes | Income Taxes
The Company has no recorded income tax expense or income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 due to the generation of net operating losses, the benefits of which have been fully reserved.
The Company has not recorded current income tax expense due to the generation of net operating losses. Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the balance sheet approach, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. A full valuation allowance has been established on the deferred tax asset as it is more likely than not that a future tax benefit will not be realized. In addition, future utilization of the available net operating loss carryforward may be limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 as a result of changes in ownership.
The Company identifies and evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any, and recognizes the impact of uncertain tax positions for which there is a less than more likely than not probability of the position being upheld when reviewed by the relevant tax authority. Such positions are deemed to be unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding liability is established on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company has not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company’s remaining open tax years subject to examination by federal tax authorities include the years ended December 31, 2019, through 2023 , and we have received notice of examination from federal tax authorities for tax year 2021. For tax years 2005 through 2018, federal taxing authorities may examine and adjust loss carryforwards in the years in which those loss carryforwards are ultimately utilized.
