☆ Did you buy alternative investments and big-yielding assets last year? Your tax return could get a little messy
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-16 | by ( Darla Mercado | Cfp | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Tax Day is upon us – but investors who have complicated tax returns may find themselves asking for an extension. April 18 is the filing deadline for your 2022 return, and on that day, you must pay any federal income taxes you owe. Last year, an estimated 19 million taxpayers asked for an extension to turn in their 2021 tax return, according to the IRS. That's because while the MLPs themselves aren't subject to federal income taxes, the limited partners who receive income distributions are responsible for taxes. You need this form in order to file your income tax return, but partnerships may not send these details until mid-March, which could lead to investors going on extension.

Energy stocks dropped last week as oil prices fell to a 15-year low , with the banking crisis roiling markets. Amid the volatility, Goldman Sachs named the energy stocks it likes in a March 16 note. Exxon vs. Chevron For investors looking for a defensive play, Goldman analysts recommend Exxon as a top pick, adding that they prefer it over rival Chevron . Targa vs. Oneok Within midstream stocks, Goldman said it was "more positive" on U.S.-based companies Targa Resources and Cheniere Energy following the pullback.
