Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, which requires that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income annually to our stockholders and comply with certain other requirements. In addition to paying federal and state taxes on any retained income, we may be subject to taxes on “built in gains” on sales of certain assets. Our taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to federal, state, local and/or foreign income taxes. Our provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of the following (in thousands):

We are required to pay franchise taxes in certain jurisdictions. We recorded approximately $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million of franchise taxes during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which are classified as corporate expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are paid. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realizable based on consideration of available evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Deferred tax assets are included in prepaid and other assets and deferred tax liabilities are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The total deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):
| 2012 |  | 2011
Deferred income related to key money | $ | 9,669 |  |  | $ | 9,644 |
Net operating loss carryforwards | 28,654 |  |  | 29,803 |
Alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards | 50 |  |  | 43 |
Other | 1,034 |  |  | 533 |
Deferred tax assets | 39,407 |  |  | 40,023 |
Land basis difference recorded in purchase accounting | (4,260 | ) |  | (4,260 | )
Depreciation and amortization | (7,098 | ) |  | (14,080 | )
Deferred tax liabilities | (11,358 | ) |  | (18,340 | )
Deferred tax asset, net | $ | 28,049 |  |  | $ | 21,683 |
We believe that we will have sufficient future taxable income, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies to realize existing deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets of $10.7 million are expected to be recovered against reversing existing taxable temporary differences. The remaining deferred tax assets of $28.7 million are dependent upon future taxable earnings of the TRS. The Frenchman's Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort is owned by a subsidiary that has elected to be treated as a TRS, and is subject to U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) income taxes. We were party to a tax agreement with the USVI that reduced the income tax rate to approximately 7%. This agreement expires in February 2015. If the agreement is not extended, the TRS will be subject to an income tax rate of 37.4%.
