Question: how is ubti taxed in an ira?
Answer: A10: When UBTI for a particular IRA exceeds $1,000 in a given year, a tax return filing and tax payment is required. The first $1,000 of UBTI per IRA is exempt from tax and does not require a tax return filing. Example: An IRA invests in an MLP that generates $3,000 of UBTI. The IRA will owe tax on $2,000 of UBTI.
