Note 18. Income Taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company qualified to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As long as the Company qualifies as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on its taxable income to the extent it annually distributes its net taxable income to stockholders, and does not engage in prohibited transactions. The Company intends to distribute 100% of its REIT taxable income and comply with all requirements to continue to qualify as a REIT. The majority of states also recognize the Company’s REIT status. The Company’s TRSs file separate tax returns and are fully taxed as standalone U.S. C corporations. It is assumed that the Company will retain its REIT status and will incur no REIT level taxation as it intends to comply with the REIT regulations and annual distribution requirements.On July 4, 2025, the President signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, or the OBBBA, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses. The OBBBA extends or makes permanent certain tax law changes enacted as part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, as well as makes other changes to the current tax code. Given the date of enactment, the effects of the OBBBA are not reflected in the interim tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company has determined the OBBBA will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a provision for income taxes of $1.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, which was primarily due to net income from MSR servicing and mortgage loan origination activities, partially offset by net losses recognized on MSR and operating expenses incurred in the Company’s TRSs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized a provision for income taxes of $14.
