Income Taxes | Note 18 — Income Taxes As a REIT, we are generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of our distributions to stockholders and as long as certain asset, income, distribution, ownership and administrative tests are met. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must annually distribute at least 90% of our REIT-taxable income to our stockholders and meet certain other requirements. We may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes. Under certain circumstances, federal income and excise taxes may be due on our undistributed taxable income. If we were to fail to meet these requirements, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and amounts available for distributions to our stockholders. We believe that all of the criteria to maintain our REIT qualification have been met for the applicable periods, but there can be no assurance that these criteria will continue to be met in subsequent periods. The Agency Business is operated through our TRS Consolidated Group and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. In general, our TRS entities may hold assets that the REIT cannot hold directly and may engage in real estate or non-real estate-related business. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a tax provision of $6.7 million and $16.2 million, respectively. The provision recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2017 consisted of a current provision of $7.6 million, partially offset by a deferred benefit of $0.9 million, and the provision recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 consisted of a current provision of $16.2 million. In both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded a tax provision of $0.3 million related to state income tax liability. The significant increase in the tax provision in the 2017 periods compared to the same periods in 2016 is due to the utilization of available net operating loss carryforwards during 2016 as well as the growth of our Agency Business during 2017. Current and deferred taxes are recorded on the portion of earnings (losses) recognized by us with respect to our interest in the TRS’s. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are calculated based on temporary differences between our U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements and the federal, state, local tax basis of assets and liabilities as of the consolidated balance sheets.
