Income Taxes	NOTE 6. — INCOME TAXES Net cash paid (refunded) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, of $244,000, $(195,000) and $368,000, respectively, includes amounts related to state and local income taxes for jurisdictions that do not follow the federal tax rules, which are provided for in property costs in our consolidated statements of operations. Earnings and profits (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) are used to determine the tax attributes of dividends paid to stockholders and will differ from income reported for consolidated financial statements purposes due to the effect of items which are reported for income tax purposes in years different from that in which they are recorded for consolidated financial statements purposes. The federal tax attributes of the common dividends for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, were: ordinary income of 89.2%, 100.0% and 61.6%, capital gain distributions of 10.8%, 0.0% and 34.4% and non-taxable distributions of 0.0%, 0.0% and 4.0%, respectively. To qualify for taxation as a REIT, we, among other requirements such as those related to the composition of our assets and gross income, must distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our taxable income, including taxable income that is accrued by us without a corresponding receipt of cash. We cannot provide any assurance that our cash flows will permit us to continue paying cash dividends. Should the Internal Revenue Service successfully assert that our earnings and profits were greater than the amount distributed, we may fail to qualify as a REIT; however, we may avoid losing our REIT status by paying a deficiency dividend to eliminate any remaining earnings and profits. We may have to borrow money or sell assets to pay such a deficiency dividend. Although tax returns for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, and tax returns which will be filed for the year ended 2018, remain open to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions under the respective statute of limitations, we have not currently identified any uncertain tax positions related to those years and, accordingly, have not accrued for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2018 or 2017. However, uncertain tax matters may have a significant impact on the results of operations for any single fiscal year or interim period.
