UBTI in Taxable Account holding limited partnership shares (K-1)

[Mitzy20]

Hi,

I received a K-1 Form 1065 from an oil/gas pipeline company that I hold in a taxable account.
I have $962 in Line 20, Code V. 
From what I understand, this is UBTI. Do I need to worry about this amount when it exceeds $1000, even tho the company shares are in a taxable account?

Thanks

You must contact your partnership, they usually file the 990-T- if they do not, you would be required to file.

Form 990-T is only filed by tax-exempt entities that invest in the partnership.  It is not filed by the partnership.

A regular taxable account is not a tax-exempt entity, so the UBTI will simply be part of the taxable income that adds to your AGI when you enter the Schedule K-1 into TurboTax.  The amount reported with code V in box 20 will have no effect on your individual tax return and there is no requirement to file any other type of tax return with respect to the amount reported with code V, even if it exceeds $1,000.  (The $1,000 threshold comes from the specific deduction on Form 990-T and has no application to your individual tax return.)

you can leave line 20 code V off your Turbotax return. That info, as others have posted, is only used by a tax-exempt entity like an IRA or charity.
