Tax Information
TC PipeLines, LP (the Partnership) is a publicly traded limited partnership which, as an entity, is not subject to federal or state income tax. Instead, partners are required to report their allocable share of the Partnership's items of taxable income, gain, deduction or loss in their individual income tax returns as though each partner had incurred such items directly.
The Partnership determines taxable income annually and allocates it to the unitholders in accordance with their particular percentage interest in the Partnership. Unitholders are required to include their share of the Partnership's taxable income in their income for tax purposes and add the amount to the tax basis of their units. The amount allocated may exceed or be less than the amount of cash distributed in the year. Generally, cash distributions are considered a return of capital and reduce the tax basis of a limited partner's units.
