The income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 consists of the following:

 

    December 31,     December 31,  
    2019     2018

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryovers ("NOLs") available to offset future taxable income.

 

In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the change in the valuation allowance was $(4,074) and $4,074, respectively.

 

A reconciliation of the federal income tax rate to the Company's effective tax rate at December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

 

    December 31,     December 31,  
    2019     2018  
             
Statutory federal income tax rate     21.0 %     21.0 %
State taxes, net of federal tax benefit     7.2 %     0.0 %
Deferred tax rate change     (0.3 )%     0.0 %
True-ups     (1.3 )%     0.0 %
Valuation allowance     (0.3 )%     0.3 %
                 
Income tax provision     26.3 %     21.3 %
