A limited liability company (LLC) is an entity:
Formed under state law by filing articles of organization as an LLC.
Where none of the members of an LLC are personally liable for its debts.
Must be classified for Federal income tax purposes as if it were a sole proprietorship (referred to as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner), a partnership, or a corporation. However, if the LLC has employees, for employment tax purposes the LLC will be treated as a corporation.
If the LLC has:
Only one owner, (see Publication 555, on community property states), it will automatically be treated as if it were a sole proprietorship (a disregarded entity), unless an election is made for it to be treated as a corporation.
Has two or more owners, it will automatically be treated as a partnership unless an election is made for it to be treated as a corporation.
If the LLC does not make a classification election, a default classification of disregarded entity (single-member LLC) or partnership (multi-member LLC) will apply. The election referred to is made using the Form 8832 (PDF), Entity Classification Election. If a taxpayer does not file Form 8832 (PDF), a default classification will apply.

The question asks about good old fashioned LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (not limited liability partnerships or corps - which were developed much more recently and are a different thing). A limited Partnership (LP) is a partnership agreement where there are at least one general partner (GP) who has unlimited liability and joint and several liability for the LP debts, and limited partners, whose liability is restricted to their investment.
LP are pass through entities for tax - that is they do not pay tax but the partners do on receipt of the income. There are some accounting clinks, where income is either delayed in pass through or speeded up, but that will be seen on the form 1065/K-1 that you receive showing the types of income - or tax benefit - you must claim that year. (Note that an investment in an LP may be passive, investment or active income too).

What are the tax consequences of owning a master limited partnership?
Assuming you mean owning a share in a master limited partnership (MLP)as an investor, he short answer is: you get tax-deferred income on a quarterly basis, and pay income tax on your share of partnership income, which is usually far smaller than the distribution. The long anwer: the important thing about an MLP, or any partnership, is pass-through taxation. That is, an MLP does not pay an entity level tax the way a corporation does. Rather, the partners--that is you and the other unitholders--are allocated their proportionate shares of all tax items, net them out, and pay the tax on the resulting taxable income. So, you will be allocated a share of the partnership's income, its depreciation deductions, etc. All this is on paper--you don't actually receive an amount equal to your share of income. You do, however, receive a quarterly distribution, which is like a dividend, except that it is treated differently for tax purposes. Because the partnership doesn't pay a tax, it can pay out more of its income to you in case than a corporation typically can. Instead of being taxed currently, the distribution is subtracted from your basis in your partnership units. When you sell your units, your taxable gain is the difference between your sales price and your adjusted basis, so the tax on the distributions is collected then. While the distributions lower your basis, your share of taxable income and other things increase it, and so it takes longer than you might think to get your basis to zero. If you ever do get to zero, the distributions would become taxable. For more information, visit the website of the MLPs' trade association, the National Association of Publicly Traded Partnerships (http://www.naptp.org)...the answer is being submitted by its executive director.
