I believe KMR paid stock but was to held in an IRA. I didn't own any but they had two classes of MLP as I recall.

Stock distributions may or may not be taxable. If they pay stock in lieu of cash, I think it is taxable as a dividend.

If they split of just pay a stock distribution, you have more shares but the same basis and when it goes ex, the price drops. Everyone has more shares, but in many respects it is meaningless. Most folks like splits because they get more shares but it is like taking a hundred dollar bill and exchanging it for two fifties, your wallet is fatter but you aren't any wealthier.
