SABINE ROYALTY TRUST
FEBRUARY 10, 2005
TO UNIT HOLDERS:
This booklet provides 2004 tax information which will allow you to
determine your pro rata share of income and deductions attributable to your
investment in Sabine Royalty Trust (the "Trust"). Each Unit holder is encouraged
to read the entire booklet very carefully.
The material included in this booklet enables you to compute the
information to be included in your Federal and state income tax returns. This
booklet is the only information source for Unit holders to determine their share
of the items of income and expense of the Trust for the entire 2004 calendar
year. The Trust does not file nor does it furnish a Form 1099 to Unit holders
(except where Federal backup withholding is required). Unit holders should
retain this booklet as part of their tax records.
The material herein is not intended and should not be construed as
professional tax or legal advice. Each Unit holder should consult the Unit
holder's own tax advisor regarding all tax compliance matters relating to the
Units.
THIS YEAR'S TAX BOOKLET CONTAINS ADDITIONAL SCHEDULES DESIGNED TO ASSIST
YOU OR YOUR TAX ADVISOR IN CALCULATING THE INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN YOUR
FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURNS. THOSE SCHEDULES ARE INCLUDED ON PAGES 20 THROUGH 21.

SABINE ROYALTY TRUST
2004 TAX INFORMATION
READING THE INCOME AND EXPENSE SCHEDULES
The accompanying income and expense schedules reflect tax information
attributable to Sabine Royalty Trust (the "Trust") for 2004. This information
has been assembled on a per Unit basis and is expressed in decimal fractions of
one dollar. A cumulative schedule for the twelve months ended December 29, 2004,
which is the last distribution payment date for 2004, and separate non
cumulative schedules for the months of January through December 2004 are
enclosed. Separate depletion schedules are enclosed which provide the necessary
information for Unit holders to compute cost depletion with respect to their
interests in the Trust.
IDENTIFYING WHICH INCOME AND EXPENSE SCHEDULES TO USE
Pursuant to the terms of the Trust agreement and the escrow agreement, the
Trust receives income and incurs expenses only on Monthly Record Dates.
Furthermore, only Unit holders of record on Monthly Record Dates are entitled to
cash distributions. On the basis of these agreements, both cash and accrual
basis Unit holders should be considered as realizing income and incurring
expenses only on Monthly Record Dates. Therefore, if you were not the Unit
holder of record on a specified Monthly Record Date, you should not use the tax
information for the month in which that Monthly Record Date falls. A table of
Monthly Record Dates and cash distributions per Unit is included on page 4.
The appropriate schedules to be used by a Unit holder will depend upon (i)
the date the Unit holder became a holder of record of the Units, (ii) if
applicable, the date the Unit holder ceased to be the holder of record of the
Units, and (iii) the tax year-end of the Unit holder. For instance, a Unit
holder reporting on the calendar year basis who acquired Units and became a Unit
holder of record on June 15, 2004 and who still owned only those Units on
December 15, 2004 must use each of the separate monthly schedules for June
through December 2004 (located on pages 13-19), and Depletion Schedule III
(located on page 23) for such Units. However, Unit holders reporting on a
calendar year basis who became Unit holders of record prior to January 15, 2004
and who continued to own only those Units on December 15, 2004, must use only
the cumulative schedule for calendar year 2004 (located on page 7) and either
Depletion Schedule I or II (located on pages 22-23), as appropriate.
APPLYING THE DATA FROM THE INCOME AND EXPENSE SCHEDULES
The tax data, other than depletion, specifically applicable to a Unit
holder may be determined by multiplying the appropriate decimal fractions times
the number of Units owned. Unit holders who must use the separate monthly income
and expense schedules should combine the individual income and expense factors
from the monthly schedules for each month during which the Units were owned on a
Monthly Record Date. For a worksheet approach to computing these decimal
fractions, see the Supplement to Tax Computation Worksheet on page 6.
COMPUTING DEPLETION
Depletion schedules are included which provide information for Unit
holders to compute cost depletion deductions with respect to their interests in
the Trust. To compute depletion for any taxable period, Unit holders should
multiply the depletion factor indicated on the relevant schedule times their
original tax basis in the respective Unit(s) as reduced by the cost depletion
that was allowable as a deduction (whether or not deducted) in prior calendar
years during which they owned the Units. A factor for percentage depletion is
not included, as cost depletion exceeded the percentage depletion calculated.
(SRT 2004 TAX)
1
As discussed at page A-2 in the back portion of this booklet, the
composite depletion factors are determined on the basis of a weighted average
ratio of current production from each Trust property to the estimated future
production from such property. This method of weighting the depletion factors
permits the presentation of a single depletion factor for all Unit holders
acquiring Units during a period in which there is no substantial change in the
relative fair market values of the Trust properties. Primarily as a result of
the decline in oil prices which occurred during 1986, there was a change in the
relative fair market values of the Trust properties. Accordingly, two mutually
exclusive depletion computations are included herein reflecting the composite
depletion factors required to compute depletion for Units acquired in 1986.
The proper depletion schedule to use in computing 2004 depletion depends
on the date when the Units were acquired, as described below. Therefore, Unit
holders are encouraged to maintain records indicating the date of acquisition
and the acquisition price for each Unit or lot of Units acquired.
Unit holders who acquired Units during or before 2003 use Depletion
Schedule I (located on page 22). The Federal depletion factors in Depletion
Schedule I are presented on a cumulative basis for 2004. Depletion Schedule I
contains no state-specific depletion factors. Unit holders should refer to
Schedule III (located on page 23) for the state-specific depletion factors.
Unit holders who acquired Units in 2004 use Depletion Schedule II (located
on page 23). The Federal depletion factors in Depletion Schedule II are
presented on a cumulative and non cumulative basis for 2004. Depletion Schedule
II contains no state-specific depletion factors. Unit holders should refer to
Schedule III (located on page 23) for the state-specific depletion factors.
Depletion Schedule III contains state-specific depletion factors, which
are presented on a noncumulative basis for all years. These factors are
appropriate for use in calculating the 2004 depletion allowance for Units
purchased in all years. You may calculate state depletion by either (a)
calculating the amount of state depletion for each month and adding together the
monthly depletion amounts or (b) adding together the applicable monthly
depletion factors for the relevant state to create a composite depletion factor
for such state and multiplying that factor by the adjusted basis of your Units.
Both methods should produce the same result.
SALE OR EXCHANGE OF UNITS
A discussion concerning the tax consequences associated with the sale or
exchange of Units is presented on page A-4 in the back portion of this booklet.
CLASSIFICATION OF INVESTMENT
Tax reform measures enacted in 1986 and 1987 require items of income and
expense to be categorized as "passive," "active" or "portfolio" in nature. An
explanation of the application of these rules to the items of income and expense
reported by the Trust are contained on page A-1 in the back portion of this
booklet.
(SRT 2004 TAX)

NONRESIDENT FOREIGN UNIT HOLDERS
Nonresident alien individual and foreign corporation Unit holders
("Foreign Taxpayer(s)") are subject to special tax rules with respect to their
investments in the Trust. These rules are outlined beginning on page A-3 in the
back portion of this booklet.
UNRELATED BUSINESS TAXABLE INCOME
Certain organizations that are generally exempt from federal income tax
under Internal Revenue Code Section 501 are subject to federal income tax on
certain types of business income defined in Section 512 as unrelated business
taxable income ("UBTI"). In the opinion of the Trust's tax counsel, Thompson &
Knight LLP, the income of the Trust as to any tax-exempt organization should not
be UBTI so long as the Trust units are not "debt-financed property" within the
meaning of Section 514(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, a Trust unit
would be debt-financed if the Trust incurs debt or if the tax-exempt
organization that is a Trust Unit holder incurs debt to acquire a Trust Unit or
otherwise incurs or maintains a debt that would not have been incurred or
maintained if the Trust Unit had not been acquired. A real property exception
applies to the debt-financed property rules for certain types of exempt
organizations. Consult your tax advisor if applicable.
BACKUP WITHHOLDING
Unit holders, other than Foreign Taxpayers, who have had amounts withheld
in 2004 pursuant to the Federal backup withholding provisions should have
received a Form 1099-MISC from the Trust. The Form 1099-MISC reflects the total
Federal income tax withheld from distributions. Unlike other Forms 1099 that you
may receive, the amount reported on the Form 1099-MISC received from the Trust
should not be included as additional income in computing taxable income, as such
amount is already included in the per Unit income items on the income and
expense schedules included herein. The Federal income tax withheld, as reported
on the Form 1099-MISC, should be considered as a credit by the Unit holder in
computing any Federal income tax liability. Individual Unit holders should
include the amount of backup withholding in the Payment section of the Unit
holder's 2004 Form 1040. For a further discussion of backup withholding, see
page A-4 in the back portion of this booklet. For amounts withheld from Foreign
Taxpayers, see pages A-3 to A-4 in the back portion of this booklet.
STATE INCOME TAX
Since the Trust holds royalty interests and receives income that is
attributable to various states, Unit holders may be obligated to file a return
and may have a tax liability in states in addition to their state of residence.
The accompanying schedules have been prepared in such a manner that income and
deductions attributable to the various states may be determined by each Unit
holder. State income tax matters are more fully discussed on pages A-5 to A-6 in
the back portion of this booklet.

NOTES

(1) In order to correctly calculate total income and expense to be reported on
your 2004 Federal and, if applicable, state income tax returns as
different factors apply depending on when Units were acquired, it is
recommended that you reproduce and complete a separate Tax Computation
Worksheet for each block of Units acquired at different times. If more
than one Tax Computation Worksheet is required, then the separate amounts
from each Tax Computation Worksheet should be added together and those
aggregate numbers reported on your 2004 income tax returns.
(2) If you did not become a Unit holder of record of any Unit(s) or did not
cease to be a Unit holder of record of any Unit(s) during the period from
January 15, 2004 through December 15, 2004, then the amounts reflected on
the cumulative schedule for 2004 (located on page 7) should be used to
complete Part I. If any Units were held of record for only part of the
period defined above, the Supplement to Tax Computation Worksheet on page
6 should be used to derive the income and expense factors to be inserted
in column B.
(3) The Trustee believes that individual Unit holders owning the Units as an
investment should report the amounts determined in this manner. See Sample
Tax Forms on pages 24-27. The U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return (Form
1120) does not require that royalty income and related expenses be
separately identified on any specific schedules. See "Sale or Exchange of
Units" on page A-4 for a discussion of the tax consequences resulting from
the sale of a Unit.
(4) The appropriate depletion schedule(s) to be utilized depends on when the
Units were acquired. See "Computing Depletion" on pages 1 and 2 to
determine the proper schedule(s) to be used.
(5) Cost depletion allowable in prior calendar years cannot be computed from
the schedules contained in this booklet. Depletion schedules contained in
Sabine Royalty Trust Tax Information Booklet(s) from prior years should be
used to determine the appropriate cost depletion amount(s) allowable in
prior calendar years.
(6) The adjusted basis is equal to the cost or other basis of the Unit(s) less
the cost depletion allowable from the date of acquisition through the date
of sale (whether or not deducted).

This worksheet should be used by Unit holders who became holders of record
of Units or ceased to be holders of record of Units during the period from
January 15, 2004 through December 15, 2004. This worksheet is designed to assist
Unit holders in determining the proper income and expense factors to be used on
the Tax Computation Worksheet -- Part I (located on page 5), under the heading
entitled "Income/Expense Per Unit from Appropriate Schedule(s)." In order to
complete this schedule, Unit holders should insert only the individual income
and expense factors from the supplemental schedules (pages 20-21) for each month
during which the Units were owned on a Monthly Record Date. (See page 4 for a
list of Monthly Record Dates).

SABINE ROYALTY TRUST
DISCUSSION OF TAX CONSIDERATIONS PERTAINING TO THE
OWNERSHIP OF UNITS IN SABINE ROYALTY TRUST
The tax law requires individuals, estates, trusts, closely held C
corporations and personal service corporations to categorize income and expense
into one of three classes, "active," "portfolio" or "passive", based upon the
nature of the activity and the involvement of the taxpayer in such activity.
Since the Trust is a grantor trust, the Unit holders are deemed to hold the
investment in the royalty interests directly and the proper classification of
the Trust income and expense will be dependent upon the relevant facts and
circumstances of each Unit holder. Generally, income or loss resulting from an
interest in the Trust is properly classified as portfolio income and as such can
be reported as directed on the tax computation worksheet (page 5). However,
under certain limited circumstances a different tax classification may be
appropriate. Accordingly Unit holders should consult their own tax advisor
regarding all tax compliance matters related to the Units.
TAX BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Sabine received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service,
dated May 2, 1983 (the "Ruling"), concerning certain tax considerations relevant
to the creation and continued existence of the Trust. Pursuant to the Ruling,
the Trust is classified for Federal income tax purposes as a "grantor trust" and
not as an association taxable as a corporation. A grantor trust is not subject
to Federal income tax. Instead, its beneficiaries (the Unit holders in the case
of the Trust) are generally considered to own the trust's income and principal
as though no trust were in existence. A grantor trust simply files an
information return reflecting all items of income and/or deductions that will be
included in the returns of the beneficiaries. Accordingly, each Unit holder of
the Trust is taxable on his pro rata share of the Trust's income and/or
deductions.
The income received or accrued and the deductions paid or incurred by the
Trust are deemed to be received or accrued and paid or incurred, respectively,
by each Unit holder at the same time as the Trust, which is on each Monthly
Record Date. On the basis of both the Trust Agreement and the escrow agreement
(discussed below), both cash and accrual basis Unit holders should be considered
as realizing income and incurring expenses only on the Monthly Record Dates.
Effect of Escrow Arrangement
The assets of the Trust include royalty and mineral interests in certain
producing and proved undeveloped oil and gas properties (the "Properties"),
which constitute economic interests in gross production of oil, gas and other
minerals free of the costs of production. The Properties are located in six
states and were not carved out of any of Sabine's working interests in effecting
the distribution. In order to facilitate creation of the Trust and avoid the
administrative expense and inconvenience of daily reporting to Unit holders, the
conveyances by Sabine of the Properties located in five of the six states
provided for the execution of an escrow agreement by Sabine, the Trustee and
Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as escrow agent. The conveyances by
Sabine of the Properties located in Louisiana provided for the execution of a
substantially identical escrow agreement by Sabine and Bank of America, N.A., in
the capacities of escrow agent and of trustee under Sabine Louisiana Royalty
Trust. Sabine Louisiana Royalty Trust, the sole beneficiary of which is the
Trust, was established in order to avoid uncertainty under Louisiana law as to
the legality of the Trustee's holding record title to the Properties located in
Louisiana.
(SRT 2004 TAX)
A-1
Pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement and the conveyances of the
Properties by Sabine, the proceeds of production from the Properties for each
calendar month, and interest thereon, are collected by the escrow agents and are
paid to and received by the Trust only on the next Monthly Record Date. The
escrow agents have agreed to endeavor to assure that they incur and pay expenses
for each calendar month only on the Monthly Record Date. The Trust Agreement
also provides that the Trustee is to endeavor to assure that income of the Trust
will be accrued and received and that expenses of the Trust will be incurred and
paid only on each Monthly Record Date. Assuming the escrow arrangement is
respected for Federal income tax purposes and the Trustee and the escrow agents
are able to control the timing of income and expenses, as stated above, both
cash and accrual basis Unit holders will be treated as realizing income only on
each Monthly Record Date. The Trustee is treating the escrow arrangement as
effective for tax purposes and the accompanying tax information has been
presented accordingly.
If the escrow arrangement is not respected for Federal income tax
purposes, a mismatching of income and deductions could occur between a
transferor and a transferee upon the sale or exchange of Units. In addition, the
Trustee would be required to report the proceeds from production, interest
income thereon, and any deductions to the Unit holders on a daily basis,
resulting in a substantial increase in the administrative expenses of the Trust.
DEPLETION
Cost Depletion
Pursuant to the Ruling, each Unit holder is entitled to deduct cost
depletion with respect to his pro rata interest in the Properties. A Unit
holder's cost depletion deduction is computed by reference to the Unit holder's
adjusted basis in each of his Units.
The deduction for cost depletion must be computed by a Unit holder with
respect to each separate property in the Trust. A Unit holder's tax basis in
each separate property generally must be determined at the time each Unit is
acquired by allocating such Unit holder's cost in each Unit among all properties
in the Trust based on their relative fair market values. However, a corporate
Unit holder that acquired Units in the distribution from Sabine must determine
its tax basis in each separate property in the Trust at the time of the
distribution by reference to Sabine's tax basis in each separate property
included in the distribution. The cost depletion deduction attributable to each
separate property is calculated for a taxable year by multiplying the tax basis
of the property times the appropriate factor reported herein. The factors are
derived by dividing total estimated equivalent units of production (barrels of
oil and MCF's of gas) expected to be recovered from the property as of the
beginning of the taxable year by the number of equivalent units produced and
sold from such property during the taxable year. The resulting deduction for
cost depletion cannot exceed the adjusted tax basis in the property. The
composite depletion factors presented herein were derived in a manner that
encompasses this separate property concept.
Percentage Depletion
The Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1990 repealed the rules denying
percentage depletion to a transferee of a proven oil or gas property for
transfers after October 11, 1990. Since substantially all of the properties were
"proven properties" on the date of the original distribution, the percentage
depletion deduction has limited applicability to Unit holders who became Unit
holders prior to October 12, 1990.
(SRT 2004 TAX)
A-2
A computation of percentage depletion has been made with respect to the
post October 11, 1990 transfers. However, since cost depletion exceeds any
otherwise allocable percentage depletion, percentage depletion factors have not
been presented by reference to the number of units a Unit holder owns.
Percentage depletion will continue to be computed and compared to cost depletion
on an annual basis for applicable transfers occurring after October 11, 1990.
NONRESIDENT FOREIGN UNIT HOLDERS
Nonresident alien individual and foreign corporation Unit holders
("Foreign Taxpayer(s)"), in general, are subject to tax on the gross income
attributable to the Trust at a rate equal to 30 percent (or the lower rate under
any applicable treaty) without any deductions. This 30 percent tax applies to
U.S. source income that is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or
business. Different tax rates and rules apply to income effectively connected
with a U.S. trade or business and those rules are not discussed herein. The 30
percent tax is withheld by the Trust and remitted directly to the United States
Treasury. Foreign Taxpayers who have had tax withheld in 2004 should have
received a Form 1042S from the Trust. The Form 1042S will reflect the total
Federal income tax withheld from distributions. The amount reported on the Form
1042S should not be included as additional income in computing taxable income,
as such amount is already included in the per Unit income items on the income
and expense schedules. The Federal income tax withheld, as reported on the Form
1042S, should be considered as a credit by the Unit holder in computing any
Federal income tax liability.
A Foreign Taxpayer holding income producing real property may elect to
treat the income from such real property as effectively connected with the
conduct of a United States trade or business. As discussed above, different tax
rates and rules apply to Foreign Taxpayers with income effectively connected
with a U.S. trade or business and those rules are not discussed in detail
herein. The income attributable to the Properties is considered as income
produced from real property. Therefore, this election should be available to
Foreign Taxpayers with respect to the taxable income resulting from the
ownership of Units. A Unit holder so electing is entitled to claim all
deductions with respect to such income, but must file a United States income tax
return to claim such deductions. This election, once made, is generally
irrevocable unless an applicable treaty allows the election to be made
periodically.
The Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended
("FIRPTA"), generally treats interests in trusts owning United States real
property as United States real property interests. However, pursuant to
applicable Treasury regulations, Units in the Trust, for purposes of FIRPTA
only, are not considered United States real property interests since the Trust
is publicly traded unless they are owned by a Foreign Taxpayer having greater
than a 5% interest in the Trust. Additionally, certain reporting provisions are
applicable with respect to Foreign Taxpayers owning a greater than 5% interest
in the Trust.
When the FIRPTA provisions apply, as described in the preceding paragraph,
income tax is required to be withheld from any proceeds distributed to Foreign
Taxpayers at the rate of 10% of the amount realized by Foreign Taxpayers upon
the sale, exchange or other disposition of a Unit. In addition, distributions,
if any, that represent the Foreign Taxpayer's allocable share of gain realized
upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of a United States real property
interest by the Trust, will generally be subject to withholding tax at a 35%
rate.
In order to avoid withholding under FIRPTA, Foreign Taxpayers will be
required to furnish the applicable withholding agent with an exemption
certificate certifying why such withholding is not required.

Foreign Taxpayers are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors
concerning the tax consequences of their investment in the Trust.
SALE OR EXCHANGE OF UNITS
Generally, a Unit holder realizes gain or loss upon the sale or exchange
of any Unit measured by the difference between the amount realized from the sale
or exchange and the adjusted tax basis of such Unit. The adjusted tax basis of a
Unit is the original basis of such Unit reduced by depletion deductions
allowable (whether deducted or not) with respect to such Unit. Trust income
allocable to such Unit to the date of sale is taxable to the selling Unit
holder. The purchaser of a Unit is taxable on Trust income allocable to such
Unit from the date of purchase forward. For Federal income tax purposes, Trust
income should generally be allocable only to the holder of record of a Unit on
each Monthly Record Date.
Gain or loss on the sale of Units by a Unit holder who is not a dealer
with respect to such Units and who has a holding period for the Units of more
than one year will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss except to the
extent of the depletion recapture amount. For Federal income tax purposes, the
sale of a Unit will be treated as a sale by a Unit holder of his interest in a
royalty interest. Thus, upon the sale of the Units, a Unit holder must treat as
ordinary income his depletion recapture amount. Such amount equals the lesser of
(1) the gain on such sale attributable to the disposition of the royalty
interest, or (2) the sum of the prior depletion deductions taken with respect to
the royalty interests (but not in excess of the initial basis of such Units
allocated to the royalty interests).
BACKUP WITHHOLDING
A payer is required under specified circumstances to withhold tax at the
rate of 28% on "reportable interest or dividend payments" and "other reportable
payments" (including certain oil and gas royalty payments). Generally, this
"backup withholding" is required on payments if the payee has failed to furnish
the payer a taxpayer identification number or if the payer is notified by the
Secretary of the Treasury to withhold taxes on such payments with respect to the
payee.
Amounts withheld by payers pursuant to the backup withholding provisions
are remitted to the Internal Revenue Service and are considered a credit against
the payee's Federal income tax liability. If the payee does not incur a Federal
income tax liability for the year in which the taxes are withheld, the payee
will be required to file the appropriate income tax return to claim a refund of
the taxes withheld.
SUBSTANTIAL UNDERSTATEMENT PENALTY
Section 6662 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a penalty in certain
circumstances for a substantial understatement of taxes if a taxpayer's tax
liability is understated by more than the greater of (a) 10 percent of the taxes
required to be shown on the return or (b) $5,000 ($10,000 for most corporations
other than S corporations). The penalty (which is not deductible) is 20 percent
of the understatement. No assurance is given either by the Trustee or counsel to
the Trustee as to the possible application of this penalty or other penalties,
in part because such application depends largely upon the individual
circumstances under which such Units were acquired. As a result, purchasers of
Units after the Public Offering should consult their personal tax advisers.

STATE INCOME TAX
Unit holders may be required to file state income tax returns and may be
liable for state income tax as a result of their ownership of Units. The
Properties are located in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma
and Texas. The tax information included in this booklet is being presented in a
manner to enable Unit holders to compute the income and deductions of the Trust
attributable to each of these states. Unit holders will need this information to
comply with the state income tax filing requirements in those states imposing a
state income tax. The laws pertaining to income tax in any given state may vary
from those of another state and from those applicable to Federal income tax.
Accordingly, Unit holders should to consult their own tax advisors concerning
state income tax compliance matters relating to ownership of Units.
The Trustee has been informed that certain states have contacted Unit
holders regarding underpayments of the state income tax imposed on the Unit
holders' income from the Trust. Failure by Unit holders to report their state
tax liability properly could result in the direct withholding of state taxes
from Trust distributions. Accordingly, Unit holders are urged to review
carefully the various filing requirements of the states listed below in order to
determine if a current or prior year state income tax liability exists as a
result of the ownership of Units in the Trust.
The State of Texas does not impose an individual income tax; therefore, no
part of the income attributable to the Trust will be subject to state income tax
in Texas. However, corporations (and limited liability companies regardless of
how taxed for Federal income tax purposes) doing business in Texas are subject
to the Texas franchise tax, which includes a calculation based on the
corporation's (or LLC's) taxable income for Federal income tax purposes. The
state of Florida imposes an income tax on resident and nonresident corporations
but not individuals. Each of the other states in which the Properties are
located imposes an income tax applicable to both resident and nonresident
individuals and corporations. Generally, the state income tax in these states is
computed as a percentage of taxable income attributable to the particular state.
Even though there are variances from state to state, taxable income for state
purposes is often computed in a manner similar to the computation of taxable
income for Federal income tax purposes.
All states have not adopted Federal law with respect to the percentage
method of computing depletion nor are such methods consistent among the various
states. It should be noted, however, that cost depletion generally is allowed by
those states indicated above (Unit holders should note that a special depletion
rule applies in Oklahoma). Included previously within this booklet is
information to assist you in determining the respective allowable cost depletion
deductions by state.
Unit holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the type of
state income tax returns that may be required and their applicable due dates.
