Energy Transfer K-1

[Gilgamesch]

I would like to know if you are a just a stock holder in Energy Transfer (ET) are you required to file the K-1 you receive. I am not clear if I am just considered a individual stock holder or a partner in the firm. Thanks for any advice.

Yes, if you get a Schedule K-1 for your investment, you are expected to include it on the tax return that you file. 

In most cases, investors who buy into this type of partnership are considered limited partners. 

If you check your K-1, Part II, line G, your ownership type will be shown there.

It's even possible to download a special file for Turbotax import. This is not the same as a pdf of the k-1. if you import you must check the import for accuracy.
