Investors & landlords

Thank you for the additional information.  UVXY and SVXY are ProShares Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) that seek to profit from changes in S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index over the course of a single day.  You are correct in that both funds have been structured as limited partnerships.  Accordingly, they will send a Schedule K-1 to their investors.  

 

ProShares has indicated that investors should expect to receive their Schedule K-1 in mid-March.  Have you received your Schedule K-1?  Your Schedule K-1 may differ from what is reported on your 1099-B which you may get from your broker.  However, you will need your Schedule K-1, along with your broker's 1099-B, to calculate your gains/losses with respect to these ETFs.  It can be a rather complicated process and if you have many transactions, it may take some time entering your information into TurboTax.

 

Here is a link to the Prospectus for UVXY and SVXY which was obtained from the Proshares website.  It's a lengthy document, but if you select Ctrl and F on your keyboard (PC) or Command and F (Mac) and enter in the search box the term "tax" (you don't need to include the quotations) you can review the pages that relate to taxes to get a better understanding of how to report your gains and losses.
