2023 was the first year I traded ETFs. I have received 2 K-1s so far and was able to download one more. All of those were ProShares - info on taxpackagesupport.com. Have any of you received K-1s from State Street SPDR funds, Invesco QQQ, Direxion, Global, iShares, or VanEck? This year or previously? Appreciate any experience with these you have to share.

Hi @LisaM,

What were the ticker symbols you traded?

The only K1’s I have ever rcvd were from partnerships like MLP’s, BCD’s, etc.

SPY, QQQ, PSQ, BOIL, SPXS, XLK, SOXL, NUGT, UGL, LIT, XLE, UCO, XLB, FAZ, PICK, GLD, GDXJ, SPXL, SLV, GDX, XLP. So far, I know that BOIL, UGL, and UCO produce K-1s. I’m trying to figure out whether or not I need to expect one from the others. Also, is there a definitive way to know this before you buy them?

Hi @LisaM,

I look at the prospectus.

Do a search for tax.

Does that help you?

OK, that works. I had to download the prospectus as a pdf to be able to do a search on it, but that worked. Thank you!

Gene did you pay taxes in all states on the K-1 or just your federal taxes?

Hi @buynholdisdead,

I avoid K1-type businesses.

I did have some MLP’s inside of my IRA for a while but dumped them.

On the state tax part:

Most states have thresholds for taxes that small holdings don’t normally cross. Some, IIRC Pennsylvania, had a $10 floor.

I don’t know what different states might do to track-down tax evaders.

I just do not need more hassles for taxes. :wink:

Does that help you?

Yes and I agree, K-1 and MLP’s are just plain headaches. But since I didn’t read the prospectus and did some short term trading on Boil. Here I am. :joy:

Next time I need to read the prospectus even on a short term trade.

Same here. Now I know to check the prospectus for this every time.

Good News if the K-1 is in your Ira account you do not have to pay taxes on it.
