Question on capital gains on Master Limited Partnership preferred stock in a tax advantaged account

Hello,

 

I know that capital gains on a Master Limited Partnership (MLP) in a Roth account may result in UBTI income.  In a Roth this can result in significant tax obligations if the UBTI amount is great than $1,000.

 

Does anyone know whether the same thing is true for capital gains from trading preferred stock of an MLP in a Roth?  I own some preferred stock of an MLP in my Roth, and it has appreciated significantly.  If I sell it, will the capital gain from selling preferred stock of an MLP perhaps be UBTI?

 

If anyone knows the answer I would appreciate it!


Regards
