Commodity ETFs
There are some special considerations that apply to commodity ETFs. These include:
 * Commodity ETFs often use a variety of ETF structures, for example
 * Grantor's trusts: Used especially for bullion based precious metals ETFs
 * Exchange traded notes: Beware that an ETN bears credit risk, in that it is an obligation of the sponsoring bank
 * Master limited partnership: These ETFs report their income tax obligations on corporate K-1 filings, not 1099 documents.
 * Commodity asset classes and fund structures also have some special tax considerations:
 * Precious metals and grantor's trusts: The IRS considers precious metals to be collectibles. This means that you face a maximum 28% long term capital gains tax rate and a maximum 35% tax rate on these ETFs.
 * Commodity futures have a 60/40 long term/short term blended tax obligation. This means that they have a maximum 23% long term capital gains tax rate and a maximum 23% short term maximum tax rate. Limited partnership ETFs are considered pass-through investments. Each year gains are marked-to-market and passed through to you as a potential taxable obligation, regardless of whether you sell the shares or hold them.
 * Exchange traded notes based on equity investments have a 15% long term capital gains rate and a maximum 35% short term capital gains rate.
