Reconciliation between the U.S. Statutory Federal Income Tax Rate and Effective Income Tax Rate

A reconciliation between the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate and our effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is provided in the following table:

 

     2013     2012     2011  

U.S. statutory federal income tax rate

     0.0     34.0     34.0

State taxes, net of U.S. federal income tax benefit(1)

     41.7     4.0     10.2

Other adjustments(2)

     473.4     -4.7     10.5
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

Effective tax rate

     515.1     33.3     54.7
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

(1)  From 2010 to 2012, California state tax returns were filed on a unitary basis with our Adviser. In 2011, we began filing state tax returns in Florida, and, for 2013, we will also begin filing state tax returns in Arizona, Michigan and Oregon. The overall state tax rate is higher due to the deferred intercompany gain mentioned above, which is a fixed amount due to the state of California and is not based on the amount of income apportioned to the state.
(2)  Adjustments made to the 2013 income tax provision related primarily to the recognition of $2.1 million of income taxes on a deferred intercompany gain relating to land transfers from prior years. This tax will become due upon our election to be taxed as a REIT, which we intend to do for the year ended December 31, 2013. This was partially offset by the reversal of our deferred tax liability, which resulted in a benefit of REIT conversion of $743,676.
