I'm not the person you should be thanking. Credit for sorting this out goes to @nexchap and @Mike9241 .
I get my investing information from a number of places. Energy Transfer sounded like a great deal, it paid dividends far in excess of what you could get through treasuries and most dividend paying stocks. What none of the investing articles mentioned what how how much of a pain the K-1s and later the K-3s create for the average person. Before I invest in anything now, I check to see if dividends are reported on a K-1 or 1099.
