sold NMM today in which I've owned a long time.. I believe I will not be taxed on any dividends that I have acquired over the years. is that correct?

Most publicly traded partnerships issue a tax reporting guide with the annual K-1s reporting partners' shares of partnership income, loss deductions and credits. They give advice that is specific to the partnership. You should be able to find your answers in that guide.

NMM is a corporation for us tax purposes. You will be taxed like any other corporate stock sale (i.e., normal capital gains). Many of the shipping MLPs use that structure since they don't have any US assets and therefore owe no US taxes on their operations. You should have received a 1099 for divs from NMM rather than the usual K-1's MLPs generate.

Also, MLPs in an IRA can cause taxes to be due on the UBTI. I believe the first $1000 is deductible.
