Publicly Traded Partnership Attributes
DCP Midstream Partners, LP is a publicly
traded partnership, which operates in the
following distinct ways from a publicly
traded stock corporation:
• Unitholders own limited partnership
units instead of shares of common
stock and receive cash distributions
rather than dividends.
• A partnership is generally not a taxable
entity and does not pay federal and
state income tax, as does a corporation.
Partnerships flow through all of the
annual income, gains, losses, deduc-
tions, or credits to unitholders, who are
required to show their allocated share
of these amounts on their income tax
returns, as though these items were
incurred directly.
• DCP Midstream Partners provides each
unitholder owning units for any portion
of the year a Schedule K-1 tax package
that includes each unitholder’s allocated
share of reportable Partnership items
and other Partnership information
necessary to be included in tax returns.
This compares with a corporate stock-
holder, who receives a Form 1099
annually detailing required tax data.
