NOTE 12—INCOME TAXES

In May 2018, the Board of Directors unanimously approved a change of the Partnership’s federal income tax status from that of a pass-through partnership to that of a taxable entity, which became effective on September 24, 2018. Subsequent to the Partnership’s change in tax status, the Partnership’s provision for income taxes is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate plus discrete items.

Prior to September 24, 2018, the effective date of the Partnership’s change in income tax status, the Partnership was organized as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes. As a result, the Partnership’s partners were responsible for federal income taxes on their share of the Partnership’s taxable income with the exception of any entity-level income taxes such as the Texas Margins Tax.  The Partnership recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.1 million and $0.6  million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The tax payment made by the Partnership for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was generated by a gross income allocation related to the Series A Preferred Units, which were issued in connection with the Haymaker Acquisition.
