Laws and
Regulations Impacting PTPs
and Their
Investors
Many characteristics of PTPs derive from federal tax law and regulation. Federal tax law has several provisions which apply specifically to PTPs and others of more general application which affect PTPs and their investors. Because many states base their income tax system on the federal tax code, these rules will often apply at the state level as well. The most important ones can be found by clicking on the links to the right.
Current state laws relating to the levels at which individuals may owe tax on their share of PTP income earned in the state can be found by clinking the links under "State Law." For a list of the states in which each PTP has operations, click here.
