if a MLP is sold from a taxable account, the accumulated distributions get taxed at ordinary rates.

My understanding is the distribution lowers your unit cost basis, so the capital gain (if there is a gain) on the MLP unit sale would be larger when you sell an MLP that has paid out lots of distributions AND appreciated in value.

Myself ... I am happy to pay high taxes because it means I am making lots of money. It's much better than avoiding high taxes by not making any money. Yessirree.
