KMP / EPB Summary

Tax Information Package

Kinder Morgan, Inc. (KMI) has entered into agreements to acquire all of the equity interests of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. (KMP) El Paso Pipeline Partners, L.P. (EPB) and Kinder Morgan Management, LLC (KMR).  The exchange of KMI shares for KMR shares is not expected to result in a taxable transaction.  The receipt of KMI common stock, cash or a combination of KMI common stock and cash in exchange for KMP or EPB common units will be a taxable transaction to U.S. Holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes (it will be considered a sale of the partnership units).  Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2015 you will receive, among other items, the following documents as well as summary information covering those documents:

1)             Schedule K-1

2)             Transactions Schedule

3)             Sales Worksheet

4)             State Tax Schedule

This KMP / EPB Tax Information Package is being provided for your general guidance and is focused on the documents listed above.  It is an additional resource for KMP and EPB unit holders to reference in light of the recent KMI transaction announcement.  The information is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, the basis of tax advice.  The tax information discussed within this package and reflected on the schedules provided to you is based on existing federal and state laws and regulations as interpreted by the partnerships’ General Partner.

For your reference, included at the end of this package are (i) sample K-1 and Additional Information Statement (Exhibit 1); (ii) a sample blank Transaction Schedule (Exhibit 2); (iii) sample Sales Worksheets (Exhibits 3 and 4); (iv) the 2013 K-1 Graphic Guide (Exhibit 5); and (ii) Frequently Asked Questions (Exhibit 6).

Before undertaking any tax filing, we suggest that you refer to the appropriate federal and state income tax laws or consult with your tax advisor.  If you have any questions regarding your federal and state income taxes, please contact your tax advisor.  If you have any corrections to your personal information (name, address, account type, etc.), to your tax records maintained by your broker or transfer agent (correct dates, transaction types, units by transaction, add missing transactions, delete incorrect transactions, etc.), or to request K-1s from previous years, please call Tax Package Support at 1-800-232-1627 or visit www.taxpackagesupport.com.

1) Schedule K-1

The partnerships are publicly traded limited partnerships.  The partnerships are not subject to federal income taxes and, in most cases, state income taxes.  Instead, each partner is required to report an allocable share of the partnerships’ items of income, gain, loss, deduction or tax credit in the partner’s income tax return.  The Schedule K-1 provides your share of the partnerships’ income, deductions, credits and related items.  For your reference, we have included a sample Schedule K-1 (see Exhibit 1).  Please also reference Exhibits 5 and 6, for the 2013 Graphic Guide and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), which include more information on the Schedule K-1.  The Graphic Guide links the information reflected on the Schedule K-1 to the specific tax forms that may be required in the filing of your federal income tax return.  The FAQs addresses general tax-related issues associated with you receiving a Schedule K-1, rather than a Form 1099.  A complete copy of the IRS instructions for the Schedule K-1 can be found on the IRS website.

The Schedule K-1 provides your share of the partnerships’ income, deductions, credits, and related items.  The K-1 information is to be included in your tax return to be filed.  Because of certain reporting limitations on the K-1, the partnerships also provide other important operating results needed in the preparation of your tax return in the Additional Information Statement.  The tax law characterizes the tax reporting of items of income, gain, loss, and deduction from a publicly-traded limited partnership interest as relating to either passive or portfolio activities.

Portfolio Activity Items

The amounts reported to you in boxes 5, 6a, 6b, 7, 13I, 13H, 20A, and 20B are from portfolio activities.  These amounts, if any, must be reported in your return as indicated in the Schedule K-1 instructions.

1

Passive Activity Items

The amounts reported to you in boxes 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9a, 10, 11, 12, and 13J of the Schedule K-1 are from passive activities.  If the sum of the amounts in boxes 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9a, 10, 11, 12, and 13J result in a negative number (a passive activity loss), you would not report the amounts from these boxes on your return unless you sold your units or have a deemed sale of your units prior to the end of the calendar year.  If you have passive activity losses, do not report the amounts in boxes 15 or 17 on your return unless you sold your units or have a deemed sale of your units prior to the end of the calendar year.  If the sum of the amounts in boxes 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9a, 10, 11, 12, and 13J result in a positive number, then report each of the amounts in boxes 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9a, 10, 11, 12, 13J, 15, and 17 as instructed by the form.

The tax law limits the recognition of losses from passive activities of a publicly-traded limited partnership to the amount of passive activity income from the same partnership.  Net passive activity income from a publicly-traded limited partnership is fully recognized.  The income cannot be offset by net passive activity losses from other sources including other publicly-traded partnerships.

Passive activity losses that are not recognized can accumulate and are suspended until one of the following occurs:

a.              the partner is allocated net passive activity income from the same partnership against which the suspended losses can be offset, or

b.              the partner disposes of an interest in the partnership, at which time the suspended losses are fully recognized.

The unit holder must track his or her passive loss balance.  Since the acquisition of the KMP and EPB units by KMI will be a taxable sale of your units, you should be able to utilize all of your suspended passive activity losses to offset all or part of the gain you might have from the sale of your units.  We encourage you to consult your tax advisor regarding these items.

Schedule K-1 Tax Reporting Items and Definitions

Identification Number:

·                  Partnership Federal Identification Number:  This is the partnership’s federal taxpayer identification number.  This number must be reported on your U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, Form 1040, Schedule E, Part II, Line 28, Column (d).

Passive Activity Income or (Loss) Items:

·                  Review the above instructions regarding reporting of income or loss from a passive activity before including any of the below items on your tax return.  The graphic guide included in the tax package links the information reflected on the Schedule K-1 to the specific tax forms that may be required in the filing of your 2013 federal income tax return.

·                  Ordinary Income from Trade or Business Activities (Box 1):  This amount reflects your share of partnership ordinary income or loss before any separately reported items.  Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 743(b) adjustments have also been included in Box 1, if applicable.  If you have net overall passive activity income from this partnership, then this amount should be reported on Form 1040, Schedule E, Part II, Column (g).  You will also need to determine whether you have prior suspended losses from this partnership to be used to offset your current year overall net passive activity income.  Report the amount of suspended losses you utilized on Form 1040, Schedule E, Part II, Column (f).

·                  Net Income (Loss) from Other Rental Activities (Box 3):  This is your share of the partnership’s income or loss from rental real estate activities.  If you have net overall passive activity income from this partnership, then this amount should be reported on Form 1040, Schedule E, Part II, Column (g).

·                  Net Section 1231 Gain (Loss)(Box 10):  The amount reported in box 10 is your share of gain or loss from the disposition of trade or business assets.  If you have net overall passive activity income from this partnership, then this amount should be reported on Form 4797, Part I, Line 2, Column (g).

·                  Intangible Drilling Costs (Box 13J):  This is your share of the partnership’s Intangible Drilling Costs (IDC).  If you have net overall passive activity income from this partnership, then this amount should be reported on Form 1040, Schedule E, Part II, Column (g).  Schedule K-1, Box 13J provides the information necessary for you to compute your tax preference for IDC.  For all taxpayers, Line 13J1 represents qualified IDC incurred by the partnership’s oil and gas operations to which an election under Section 59(e) may apply.  Line 13J2 represents mining and development cost incurred by the partnership to which an election under Section 59(e) may apply.  You may also want to consult your tax advisor for appropriate treatment of these costs.

2

Portfolio Items:

·                  Portfolio Interest Income (Box 5):  This item represents your share of portfolio interest income.  Report this amount on Form 1040, Schedule B, Part I, Line 1.

·                  Portfolio Dividend Income (Box 6a and Box 6b):  The amount reported in Box 6a is your share of portfolio ordinary dividend income.  Report this amount on Form 1040, Schedule B, Part II, Line 5.  The amount reported in Box 6b is your share of qualified dividend income.  Report this amount on Form 1040, line 9b.

·                  Royalties (Box 7):  This is your share of the partnership’s royalty income.  Report this item on Form 1040, Schedule E, Part I, Column A,

·                  Deductions-Royalty Income (Box 13I):  The amount reflected in this box represents your share of deductions related to royalty income.  Report this item on Form 1040, Schedule E, Part I, Column A, Line 19.

Other Reporting Items:

·                  Interest Expense on Investment Debts (Box 13H):  This amount is used in the computation of deductible investment interest expense.  Report this amount on Form 4952, Part I, Line 1.

·                  Section 199 Deduction (Box 13T and 13V):  IRC Section 199 (“Section 199”) was added by The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.  This discussion is intended to provide a general summary of the Section 199 deduction.  Accordingly, the partnerships urge each partner to refer to the appropriate federal tax laws or consult with their tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences of Section 199 to your tax return.

·                  For the tax year ending December 31, 2013, Section 199(a)(1) generally allows a deduction equal to nine percent of the lesser of a taxpayer’s qualified production activities income (“QPAI”) or the taxpayer’s taxable income determined without regard to the Section 199 deduction.  Section 199(d)(9), however, limits the deduction of taxpayers with oil-related qualified production activities to 6% for tax years beginning after 2009.  An individual taxpayer’s QPAI deduction is limited to the individual’s adjusted gross income.

·                  The deduction allowed under Section 199 is determined at the partner level.  Accordingly, the partnerships are reporting the following information to assist each partner in computing its Section 199 deduction.  In order for a partner to compute QPAI, the information reported by the partnerships generally should be aggregated with a partner’s qualified production activities occurring outside the partnerships.  The at-risk rules (Section 465), the passive activity loss rules (Section 469) and the publicly traded partnership rules (Section 469(k)), and other limitations under Section 199 may affect the proper tax reporting of the Section 199 information provided to you by the partnerships.

·                  The Form 8903 requires oil-related production activities to be broken out separately in computing the Domestic Production Activities Deduction.  Codes 13T-1 through 13T-4 include information that should be reported in column B of Form 8903 and Codes 13T-5 through 13T-8 should be reported on the same lines in Column A in accordance with instructions from the FAQ.

·      Nondeductible Expenses (Box 18C):  Certain expenses incurred by the partnerships are not deductible for federal income tax purposes.  This amount is your allocated share of those expenses.  This amount is not reported in your federal income tax return but does reduce the tax basis of your units.

·                  Investment Income (Box 20A):  This amount is used in the computation of the limitation on deductible investment interest expense.  Report this amount on Form 4952, Part II, Line 4a.

·                  Investment Expenses (Box 20B):  The amount reflected should be subtracted from investment income to compute the limitation on deductible investment interest expense.  Report this amount on Form 4952, Part II, Line 5.

Other Information:

·                  Unrelated Business Taxable Income or Loss (Box 20V):  This information is applicable to tax-exempt organizations and qualified retirement plans (IRA, SEP, 401(k) and other qualified plans).  Income from publicly-traded limited partnerships is treated as taxable income for tax-exempt organizations and qualified retirement plans.  This information is reportable on Federal Form 990-T for such organizations and plans.  Please obtain advice from your personal tax advisor if you have received this Schedule K-1 on behalf of a tax-exempt organization or qualified retirement plan.

3

·                  Gross Receipts (Box 20Z1):  This amount represents your share of the partnership’s total income before expenses.  This information may be needed by tax-exempt organizations and qualified retirement plans to determine if a Form 990-T must be filed.  Individual taxpayers may need this information to determine whether a return must be filed for certain states in which the partnerships operate.

·                  Depletion Included in Box 1 (Box 20Z2)

·                  Bonus Depreciation Adjustment (Box 20Z3)

·                  Mexican Withholding Capital Account Adjustment (Box 20Z4)

·                  Schedule K-1 Partner’s Capital Account Analysis (Box L):  This section provides a summary of partnership activity attributable to your partnership units as it affects your capital account.  Your capital account activity is summarized on the basis of the information shown on your Transactions Schedule.

·                  PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR CAPITAL ACCOUNT BALANCE BEARS NO RELATIONSHIP TO, AND IS NOT INDICATIVE OF, THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT.

2) Transactions Schedule

This schedule contains your history of partnership units bought or sold by date and number of units as reported to the partnership by your broker or the partnership’s transfer agent.  For your reference, we’ve included a blank Transaction Schedule at the end of this package (Exhibit 2).  Each partnership relies on purchase and sale information obtained from brokers and transfer agents to prepare the tax information reported to you on your Schedule K-1.  This Schedule K-1 reports information for all units owned by the partner under the social security or federal identification number shown in Part II Box E of the Schedule K-1.  Units owned by a spouse will be reported on a separate Schedule K-1 under that spouse’s social security number.  A separate Schedule K-1 will be issued for each IRA or other retirement account in which you own units, if any.

Transactions Schedule:  Definitions

·                  Transaction Description:  This is the type of transaction for the group of units involved.  The “Description” column provides explanations for the abbreviations used in this column.

·                  Transaction Date:  This is the date on which the transaction occurred as reported to the partnerships by either the transfer agent (if you are a registered owner) or by your broker or nominee (if your units are in street name).

·                  Broker or Certificate Number:  This column will indicate “Broker” if the transaction was reported to the partnerships from a broker or nominee.  This column will also report a certificate number for transactions registered with the partnership’s transfer agent.

·                  Units:  This is the number of partnership units associated with each certificate or transaction.

3) Sales Worksheet Use Sales Worksheet 1 (Exhibit 3) for your Federal tax return.  Also use Sales Worksheet 1 (Exhibit 3) for state tax returns if you reside in a conforming state.  If you live in a non-conforming state, use Sales Worksheet 2 (Exhibit 4) for state tax returns.  For your reference, we’ve included both Sales Worksheets at the end of this package.

This Worksheet is provided to calculate your gain or loss from the disposition of partnership units.  You must calculate the gain or loss based on certain information provided by the partnerships, as well as other information from your records.  The calculated gain or loss should be reported on the tax forms referenced at the bottom of Columns (9) and (10) on the Sales Worksheet.

To compute your gain or loss from the disposition of partnership units first enter your Sales Proceeds (net of brokerage commissions) in Column (4).  Then enter your Purchase Amount (including brokerage commission) in Column (5).  Your Adjustments to Tax Basis in Column (6) will be provided.  In column (7) enter any partner-level adjustments to your tax basis in the partnership.  For example, these adjustments would include additions to basis for distributions in excess of basis for which you have recognized income.  Total Gain / Loss is the sum of Sales Proceeds in Column (4) less the total of amounts in Columns (5) and (6), plus (positive adjustment) or minus (negative adjustment) the amount in Column (7).  Enter this amount in Column (8).  To calculate your Capital Gain or Loss in Column (10), subtract the Ordinary Gain in Column (9) from your Total Gain in Column (8).  Depending on how long this investment was held, different tax rates may apply.

Certain states require that nonresidents apportion the gain or loss from the sale of a partnership interest to their state.  Listed below are the 2013 apportionment factors for states identified as imposing such requirements.  The reporting requirements for each state may vary, and there could be additional states with similar requirements; therefore, it is important to consult with your tax advisor in completing any applicable state returns.  Additional information will be provided upon request.

Unless you have advised the partnerships to use a different method, this Sales Worksheet reflects unit dispositions on a “first in, first out basis” so that you are considered to sell units in the order in which they were acquired by you.  This approach has been applied solely for administrative convenience and is not consistent with IRS Revenue Ruling 84-53, which provides that a partner has one unified basis in its total partnership interest, and would generally yield a different result than that presented - for example, an “average” tax basis in each unit sold.  Each partner must make his or her own determination of the amount of basis to be associated with units that are sold.  The partnerships express no opinion on the appropriate methodology to be used in making this determination and have provided this Worksheet as a courtesy.  Please consult your tax advisor to obtain advice on how this determination should be made, update the Sales Worksheet to reflect the manner in which you determine that the basis in your units should be attributed to units that have been sold, and return it to our Tax Package Support Department for a reprocessing of your tax information statement.

Also, if you have disposed of your units in the partnerships, any unused passive losses are allowed in full in the year of disposition.  If you are a tax-exempt entity, please note that a portion of your liabilities may be allocable to you and these liabilities may be treated as acquisition indebtedness for purposes of determining the amount of gain on sale that is subject to tax as unrelated business income.  Please contact your tax advisor or Tax Package Support if more information is required. Please note that some information included on this Sales Worksheet is to be reported on an individual’s Form 8949.  Basis information related to the sale is not reported to the IRS by the partnership.

Sales Worksheet Definitions

·                  Units Disposed (Column 1):  This is the number of units you sold as reported to the partnerships by your broker or transfer agent.

·                  Acquisition Date (Column 2):  This is the date you acquired units as reported to the partnerships by your broker or transfer agent.

·                  Disposition Date (Column 3):  This is the date you sold units as reported to the partnerships by your broker or transfer agent.

·                  Sales Proceeds (Column 4):  Enter the total amount you received from the sale, net of any commissions or other fees incurred in relation to the sale.

·                  Purchase Amount (Column 5):  Enter the purchase price for the units sold:  include commissions and other fees incurred to purchase your units.  If you acquired your units by some means other than by purchase, refer to the summary below and consult your tax advisor to address any questions.

1)             Tax-Free Exchange - Use the adjusted tax basis of units exchanged.

2)             Gift - Use the donor’s adjusted gross basis increased by any gift tax paid on the appreciation at the date of gift.  However, if you will recognize a loss on your sale of partnership units, use the lesser of the donor’s adjusted basis or the fair market value of the units at the date of gift.

3)             Inheritance - Use the fair market value on the date of death or alternative valuation date, whichever was used by the estate.

·                  Adjustments to Tax Basis (Column 6):  This represents the cumulative amount of income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and distributions allocated to the units sold since your purchase, which either increase or decrease your original cost of these units.

·                  Partner Level Adjustments to Basis (Column 7):  Enter any partner level adjustments to your tax basis in the partnerships.  For example, these adjustments would include additions to basis for distributions in excess of basis for which you have recognized income.

5

·                  Total Gain or Loss (Column 8):  Total gain or loss is the sum of Column (4) minus the amounts in Columns (5) and (6), plus (positive adjustment) or minus (negative adjustment) the amount in Column (7).

·                  Ordinary Gain or Loss (Column 9):  The amount reported in this column represents the amount of ordinary income attributable to the units sold, resulting from the recapture of the amount of depreciation previously allocated to you.  This is the amount of gain or loss, if any, which is treated as ordinary gain, or loss rather than capital gain or loss.  When reporting ordinary income attributable to sales of partnership units, you must include an IRC Section 751 statement in your income tax return.  Please see the example Section 751 Statement below.

·                  Capital Gain or Loss (Column 10):  To determine capital gain or loss subtract the amount in Column (9), if any, from the amount calculated in Column (8).

·                  Alternative Minimum Tax Basis Adjustment (Column 11):  This amount is the cumulative AMT adjustment items attributable to the units sold.  Please refer to your tax advisor for proper reporting of this line item.

4) State Tax Schedule and Information

Since the partnerships operate in more than 40 states, you may be required to file an income tax return with those states even though you are not a resident of that state.  The state amounts reported on the State Schedule should be used to help you determine those states that may require you to file an income tax return.  The partnerships are subject to and do pay the Texas Franchise Tax (Texas Margins Tax), which is treated as a state income tax for federal income tax purposes.  The state income tax paid by the partnerships is stated separately on the state schedule (Column 9) and is not included in Column 1 of the State Schedule.  State tax forms and instructions can be obtained via the internet at sites such as www.taxsites.com, or by contacting the appropriate state’s department of revenue.  The state information schedule is not a tax return document.

·                  Resident State Filing Guidelines:  Generally, the amounts reported on the Federal Schedule K-1 are needed to prepare your income tax return for the state in which you live.  Due to frequent tax law changes by the states, you should consult your tax advisor concerning the proper tax treatment in your state of residence.

·                  Non-Resident State Filing Guidelines:  Generally, non-resident partners are required to file state income tax returns.  The State Schedule represents allocations of your share of the federal amounts to the states in which the partnerships operate.  If you are required to file a nonresident return, you should report your share of partnership tax items attributable to the particular state on your state tax return.

Additional Information

Tax Web Projected 2014 Gain / Loss Calculator

Go to www.taxpackagesupport.com/kinder and www.taxpackagesupport.com/elpaso to sign in to the Tax Package Support web site for KMP and EPB, respectively.  Click on “Projected Gain / Loss Calculator” and enter your projected UNITS SOLD and PROJECTED SALES PRICE to calculate your projected 2014 gain / loss.  Use the UNITS TO PRORATE function to distribute units sold proportionally across all unit blocks.  The calculator uses tax information as of December 31, 2013 (i.e. it excludes 2014 partnership activity which is not yet available).

Additionally, the gain / loss calculator does not take into account any unused passive activity losses associated with your investment in KMP or EPB, which could have a material impact on your overall gain calculation.  In a complete disposition of your KMP or EPB units, any unused passive activity losses may be deducted against a gain from the sale of the units. These and other factors that can materially affect the outcome of these calculations so the gain / loss calculators should only be relied upon as a general estimate.

Corrections to your Tax Information

If the information provided by your broker or transfer agent is incorrect, the information reported to you on the Schedule K-1, as well as the information reported to the IRS, will be incorrect.  To that end, it is important that you carefully review the information reported on the schedules you receive to ensure it is consistent with the information sent to you by your broker or transfer agent.

It is important that you submit corrections to the partnerships by year-end 2014.  Failure to submit timely corrections may require you to file in your federal income tax return Treasury Form 8082 - “Notice of Inconsistent Treatment of Administrative Adjustment”.  You may make corrections to this information in any one of the following ways:
