I tried reading back though old post, but didn't see many answers.

    Did you continue to use your normal tax preparer or did you seek out someone new to deal with or hopefully save you money on taxes?   Did you set up an new structures to deal with or help save tax?

    I've asked my accountant/ tax preparer I've used for 15 years, but he didnt give me much hope in reducing the income taxes paid other than to find a right off from my day to day business, but thats risky for valuations on resale. 

  I'll have about 3-4% of property in about a  700 acres unit that should go into production mid 2025 in northeast ohio.

Tell your accountant to use 15% depletion deduction when you start getting royalties. 

Tacoma,
Which unit will you be in? Is it the kitzmiller well? Have you heard of any new pads coming up next?

Since we are talking taxes and Depletion. I inherited my Royalties and was told by a Tax Preparer that since I inherited them and did not purchase the property or Oil & Gas rights for investment purposes that I could not legally claim 15% yearly depletion on my income taxes. He showed me the IRS Code. 

I did some research and others who have inherited their rights say they have been taking the deduction for years without issue. Some websites turn the IRS Statements around and say it's a grey area.

Those of you who have inherited your Oil & Gas Rights and have a CPA's or Tax Preparer doing your taxes what have you been advised? Are you taking the 15% depletion deduction?
