INCOME TAXES
 
Income taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate is affected by the mix of earnings and losses by taxing jurisdictions. Our earnings, other than in our TRS, are not generally subject to federal corporate and state income taxes due to our REIT election. However, there are a limited number of local and state jurisdictions that tax the taxable income of the Operating Partnership.  Accordingly, we provide for income taxes in these jurisdictions for the Operating Partnership.
 
We had no unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2016. We expect no significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits within the next year.
