11. Provision for Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $0.4 million and zero, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of (0.8)% and 0% for the respective periods. The income tax charge was primarily due to unfavorable book-tax differences related to capitalizing and amortizing research and development expenditures under Internal Revenue Code, or IRC, Section 174, recognition of deferred revenue, and IRC Section 382 limitations imposed on the utilization of the Company's historical tax attributes as a result of cumulative ownership changes that the Company more likely than not experienced in prior years. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 vary from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the Company’s inability to recognize the benefit from its net deferred tax assets, which are offset by a valuation allowance.
