Schedule K-1 for IRA holding? nearly_blind 03-16-2007

I owned the exchange traded oil fund USO in my traditional
IRA last year (2006).

Apparently its really a L.P. or publically traded
partnership (PNP) and I just received Schedule K-1 from USO.
Do I need to include this info in my 2006 return or can I
avoid this because it was held in an IRA?

Grrrr. I always yell at brokers who do that.

It belongs to the IRA, and has absolutely nothing to do
with your tax return. If the IRA has enough UBTI (Box 20,
Code V), your IRA might have to file a tax return, and pay
tax. If you didn't know that already, your IRA has no
business owning PTPs.

Can an IRA have UBTI? An IRA's exempt purpose is to invest
and to grow. What could be unrelated to that and still
generate income?

Yep. http://www.aicpa.org/PUBS/jofa/april97/taxbrfs.htm has
a quickie explanation. UBTI is also the reason IRAs
generally don't invest in real estate; the profits there are
all from leverage, and mortgaged real estate kicks off UBTI.
