Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income TaxesAs a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders. And as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent the Company distributes its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and provided the Company satisfies the REIT requirements including certain asset, income, distribution and stock ownership tests.

If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT, and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, it will be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and may be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the subsequent four taxable years following the year in which it lost its REIT qualification.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the operations of two TRS entities, GA-TRS and GAJX Real Estate Corp., which are subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their taxable income.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s consolidated taxable income was $1.2 million; and provisions for income taxes were $0.3 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company’s consolidated taxable income was $2.0 million; and provisions for income taxes of $0.1 million. The Company recognized no deferred income tax assets or liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2020 or 2019. The Company also recorded no interest or penalties for either the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.
