2021 K-1s: Drill Bit to Burner Tip®*

MLPs held in our Drill Bit to Burner Tip®* Strategy during 2021

A K-1 package will be sent to your clients by mail from each MLP entity owned during 2021, typically by the end of March, usually sooner. Also, the MLP K-1s can be accessed electronically by following the links below (after the available dates noted). These links will take you to the login page where your client or client's representative can download the necessary K-1 forms to complete their tax returns.

To download the K-1s one must create a username and password for Tax Package Support (which will be good for all the individual MLP pages). Next log in to each MLP web page by entering the client name and tax ID in order to access the K-1 information. Here is a link to instructions for downloading K-1s for Drill Bit to Burner Tip®*.

*This strategy’s name changed to North American Energy (with K-1s), and it is now benchmarked versus the S&P 1500 Energy Index. We believe this change best reflects the investment objective of the strategy, which will continue to invest in all facets of the North American energy value chain.

Names with trims or sells during the year will result in a Statement of Sale included with the K-1 package: The Statement of Sale determines adjustments to basis, which, together with Form 1099 from the custodian, determines profit and loss of MLPs.

Telephone and fax numbers for each MLP can be found at www.taxpackagesupport.com.

This presentation is to report on the investment strategies as reported by Miller/Howard Investments and is for illustration purposes only.

Risk Factors to consider when investing in MLPs:

  • Cash distributions are not guaranteed and may fluctuate with the MLP's operating or business performance.
  • MLPs typically have a General Partner that maintains an aggregate 2% General Partner interest. Unit holders will have limited voting rights and do not own an interest in, vote with, or control the General Partner. The General Partner often cannot be removed without its own consent, and the General Partner has conflicts of interest and limited fiduciary responsibilities, which may permit it to favor its own interests to the detriment of unit holders.
  • The MLP may issue additional common units, diluting existing unit holders’ interests.
  • Unit holders may be required to pay taxes on income from the MLP even if they do not receive cash distributions.
  • The IRS could reclassify the MLP as a taxable entity, which could reduce the cash available for distribution to unit holders.
  • If at any time the GP owns 85% or more of the issued and outstanding limited partner interests, the GP will have the right to purchase all of the limited partnership interests not held by the GP at a price that may be undesirable.

MLP Tax Considerations: The tax treatment for investors in MLPs is different than that of an investment in stock, including (a) the investor's share of the MLP's income, deductions and expenses are reported on Schedule K-1, not Form 1099, (b) because of the possibility of unrelated business taxable income, charitable remainder trusts should not invest in this strategy, and other non-taxable investors (such as ERISA and IRA accounts) should carefully consider whether to invest in this strategy, (c) investors may have to file income tax returns in states in which the MLP's do business and (d) MLP tax information is sent directly from the partnership which generally has until April 15th to provide this information. You should discuss these and any other tax implications with your tax advisor.
