INCOME TAXES
As a REIT, we generally are not subject to corporate level tax on income of the REIT that is distributed to shareholders. We will, however, be subject to corporate taxes on built-in-gains (the excess of fair market value over tax basis at January 1, 2010) on sales of real property (other than standing timber) held by the REIT during the first 10 years following the REIT conversion. We also will continue to be required to pay federal corporate income taxes on earnings of our TRS, which principally includes our manufacturing businesses, our real estate development business and the portion of our Timberlands segment income included in the TRS.
The 2014 provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective tax rate. Our 2014 estimated annual effective tax rate for our TRS is approximately 34 percent, which is lower than the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to permanent tax deductions and lower foreign tax rates applicable to foreign earnings.
There were no significant discrete items excluded from the calculation of our effective income tax rate for 2014 or 2013.
