Income Taxes

NOTE 12. Income Taxes

The Company elected and qualified to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with the year ended December 31, 2022.

As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to federal income tax on its net taxable income that it distributes currently to its stockholders. Under the Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that they distribute each year at least 90% of their REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains. If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, the Company’s income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and the Company would be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which the Company ceased to qualify as a REIT. Even if the Company qualifies as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, it may still be subject to state and local taxes on its income and assets and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

The Company follows recent accounting guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions.

A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-than-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment.
