We evaluate tax positions taken in the financial statements on a quarterly basis under the interpretation for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As a result of this evaluation, we may recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is "more-likely-than-not" that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2022, we do not have any unrecognized tax benefits.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. and various states. The statute of limitations for income tax returns is generally three years. As such, our tax returns that are subject to examination would be primarily from 2019 and thereafter. There were no material interest or penalties recorded for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

(A) For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Code Section 199A dividend is equal to the total ordinary income dividend.
(B) For the year ended December 31, 2022, Section 1061 of the Code related to Capital Gains for One Year Amounts was 52.0% and for Three Year Amounts was 12.6%.
The income tax characterization of dividends to common shareholders is based on the calculation of Taxable Earnings and Profits, as defined in the Code. Taxable Earnings and Profits differ from regular taxable income due primarily to differences in the estimated useful lives and methods used to compute depreciation and in the recognition of gains and losses on the sale of real estate assets.
