Note 10—Income Taxes


The Company’s taxable income primarily consists of interest income on the Trust Account. The Company’s general and administrative expenses are generally considered start-up costs and are not currently deductible. There was no income tax expense for the period from September 1, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020.


The income tax provision (benefit) consists of the following from September 1, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020:


Current        
Federal   $  
State      
Deferred        
Federal     (68,168 )
State      
Change in valuation allowance     68,168  
Income tax provision   $  

The Company’s net deferred tax assets are as follows as of December 31, 2020:


Start-up/Organization costs   $ 61,173  
Net operating loss carryforwards     6,995  
Total deferred tax assets     68,168  
Valuation allowance     (68,168 )
Deferred tax asset, net of allowance   $  

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or 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 assets, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance.


There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.


A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate (benefit) to the Company’s effective tax rate (benefit) is as follows from September 1, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020:


Statutory Federal income tax rate     21.0 %
Change in Valuation Allowance     (21.0 )%
Income Taxes Benefit     0.0 %
