What is a Master Limited Partnership (“MLP”)?
A Master Limited Partnership (MLP) is a publicly traded partnership with a pass-through tax structure. A share in an MLP is called a “unit,” and owning MLP units makes you a limited partner. Owning units in an MLP is different from owning corporate stock in a number of ways, most notably their taxation. As a limited partner, each unitholder is allocated on paper a proportionate share of the MLP’s income, gain, deductions, losses, and credits for tax purposes and entitled to receive any distribution paid by the partnership. This is reported annually on the K-1 form versus a 1099 for corporation dividends.

What is the difference between a distribution and a dividend?
A common unit distribution is paid by a partnership to its partners. Under the tax code, common unit distributions are a return of capital and are generally tax-deferred. The costs basis in your partnership units, (the amount you paid, increased or decreased by various adjustments), is lowered by the amount of the distribution. A dividend is paid by a corporation to its stockholders and is generally taxable in the year it is received.
