Income Taxes | Note 8. Income Taxes We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and accordingly are generally not subject to federal and most state income taxation on our operating income provided we distribute our taxable income to our shareholders and meet certain organization and operating requirements. We are subject to income tax in Canada, Puerto Rico and certain states despite our REIT status. Also, we lease our managed hotels to our wholly owned TRSs that, unlike most of our other subsidiaries, file separate consolidated federal corporate income tax returns and are subject to federal, state and foreign income taxes. Our consolidated income tax provision included in our condensed consolidated statements of co mpr ehensive income includes the income tax provision related to the operations of our TRSs and certain state and foreign income taxes incurred by us despite our REIT status. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized income tax expense of $514 and $1,445, respectively, which includes $79 and $155, respectively, of foreign taxes and $435 and $1,290, respectively, of state taxes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized income tax expense (benefit) of $39 and $1,110, respectively, which includes $16 and $86, respectively, of foreign taxes, $23 and $1,046, respectively, of state taxes and zero and ($22), respectively, of federal taxes.
