If the MLP's are held in a traditional taxable account, no UBTI issue arises. See, I misunderstand this completely. For a minute forget my non-US friend, this question is about myself: So...if a US person holds an MLP in a regular brokerage account the distributions are the same as regular dividends? There is no special tax treatment of the distributions? I didn't know that, I thought there was some issue if you earn more than $1,000 of UBTI then strange things occur in your tax reporting. I've added a lot to my MLP holding this year (mainly in regular account, but I hold MLPs in both my regular and my Roth accounts) and I was going to figure out the tax implications in Q1 next year, but any advice is appreciated now.
