Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income TaxesREP LLC was organized as a limited liability company and treated as a flow-through entity for federal income tax purposes. As such, taxable income and any related tax credits were passed through to its members and included in their tax returns, even though such taxable income or tax credits may not have been distributed. In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company's tax status changed from a limited liability company to a C-corporation. As a result, the Company is responsible for federal and state income taxes and must record deferred tax assets and liabilities for the tax effects of any temporary differences that exist on the date of the change.

The components of the Company's consolidated provision for income taxes from continuing operations are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Six Months Ended March 31,

The Company's federal income tax returns for the years subsequent to September 30, 2017 remain subject to examination. The Company's income tax returns in major state income tax jurisdictions remain subject to examination for various periods subsequent to September 30, 2017. The Company currently believes that all other significant filing positions are highly certain and that all of its other significant income tax positions and deductions would be sustained under audit or the final resolution would not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Company has not established any significant reserves for uncertain tax positions.
