To Present and Former Unitholders: This tax information reporting booklet is intended to provide information required for Unitholders to determine the federal and state taxable income relating to ownership of Units in the Santa Fe Energy Trust (the Trust) during 2007. It is being mailed to all persons who appeared on the Trustee s records as Unitholders at any time during 2007. As such, the information provided herein may be relied upon only by Unitholders appearing on the Trustee s records for the Trust for 2007. This booklet is prepared for use by individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States. Accordingly, it has limited application to corporations and persons subject to special federal income tax treatment, such as taxexempt entities and foreign persons. This information is provided by Devon Energy Corporation (successor by merger to, Santa Fe Snyder Corporation, formerly known as Santa Fe Energy Resources, Inc.) and the Trustee with the understanding that neither Devon Energy Corporation nor the Trustee is engaged in rendering legal, accounting or other professional service. Therefore, Unitholders should consult their own tax advisor with respect to their particular circumstances. The date of acquisition or sale of your Units determines which worksheets in this booklet should be used. Worksheet 1 should be used by Unitholders who purchased their Units in the initial offering on November 19, 1992 and held such Units through December 31, 2007. Worksheets C1, C2, D and F1 & F2 should also be completed. The resulting amounts should be reported on Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, on the lines indicated. Worksheet 2 should be used by Unitholders who acquired Units after the initial offering. In addition, Worksheet 2 should be used by any Unitholder who sold Units during 2007. Worksheets A through F2 should also be completed. The resulting amounts are reportable on Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, on the lines indicated. Worksheet G is provided to assist all Unitholders in determining the appropriate amounts to be reported for state income tax purposes. As previously announced by the Trust, the Trustee has been informed by Devon that Devon believes it overpaid the Trust during the 2006 and prior years for its net profits interest royalties. Payments were made during 2007 to Devon for the prior years' overpayments. The amount of the overpayment, and impact on quarterly distributions to Unitholders, is disclosed in the quarterly distribution announcements and the financial statement reports (SEC filings) of the Trust. The repayments to Devon have been reported in this booklet as part of the administrative expenses for the year (Table 4). You may have received Form 1099 related to one or more types of income generated by your broker or the Trust. Beginning in 2007 the Trust is required to complete Forms 1099 for Unitholders who do not hold their units through a broker or other middlemen. The Trust will be providing Forms 1099 as required under these new reporting requirements. These Forms 1099 are based on the same information provided in this booklet. Therefore 1
the information contained on the Forms 1099 provided by the Trust will correspond to the income information reported in this booklet. The Trustee recommends all unitholders use the worksheets contained in this booklet to correctly calculate and report 2007 taxable income amounts related to the Trust as information reported on Forms 1099 do not reflect all necessary information to calculate taxable income. A computer software version of this reporting package was developed to aid Unitholders in obtaining and determining their tax information. The Trust will calculate for you the tax information related to your Units for the current year and each year that you held them with the relevant information that you provide. For Unitholders who purchased their Units prior to 2007, this software version calculates reportable amounts based on the respective reporting booklets for those years. The calculations in this version assume that in prior years, reportable amounts calculated by the Unitholders were pursuant to the directions provided in the Tax Information Reporting Booklets and that the information submitted to the Trust by the Unitholder is accurate and complete. If you should request this service from the Trustee, the information generated is intended to help you determine your tax liability and not to render professional advice. Moreover, the tax information generated does not take into account your other particular tax attributes and tax circumstances. Accordingly, you should consult your own advisor regarding the determination of the actual tax implications of your ownership of Trust Units prior to the preparation of your income tax returns. In December 2007, letters soliciting Unitholder information were sent to the Unitholders on file. If you were not part of that mailing or missed the information request due date and would like to take advantage of this resource, please send a postcard to the following address: Santa Fe Energy Trust 919 Congress Avenue, Suite 500 Austin, TX 78701 You will need to include your name, address and tax identification number on the postcard. In addition, you will need to include the following information for each separate purchase and sale of a block of Units: - date of each such purchase - purchase price paid in each such purchase, including commissions - number of Units purchased in each such purchase - number of Units sold in each such sale, if any - sales price received in each such sale, if any - date of each such sale, if any, and - statement of whether or not you are eligible for percentage depletion (see discussion in Section 2 of General Information ). If you have any questions concerning this booklet or the software version, please call (512) 236-6545. The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., Trustee 2
GENERAL INFORMATION 3
GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Reporting of Income and Deductions (a) Direct Ownership Reporting. Each Unit consists of an interest in the Santa Fe Energy Trust and an interest in a U.S. Treasury Obligation. The Santa Fe Energy Trust (the Trust) is classified as a Grantor Trust for federal income tax purposes. Unitholders are taxed on their share of the Trust s income and expenses. Unitholders are also taxed on their share of the original issue discount income attributable to the Treasury Obligations. The Trust reports its income and expenses on the cash basis of accounting using a calendar year. The Trust makes quarterly cash distributions to Unitholders of record on each quarterly record date. Taxable income is allocated to Unitholders receiving distributions. Income and expenses attributable to the assets of the Trust and Treasury Obligations should be taken into account by the Unitholders consistent with their method of accounting and without regard to the taxable year or accounting method employed by the Trust. Worksheets and instructions are provided, beginning at page 9, to help you calculate your appropriate share of income and expenses to be reported to the IRS. (b) Types and Reporting of Trust Income and Deductions. (i) Royalty Income - The Trust holds Royalty interests in oil and gas properties in 11 states. Royalty income is received by the Trust quarterly. Table 1 reports the amount of Royalty income for each Unit held for the period indicated. You may have received a Form 1099 - MISC reporting Royalty or miscellaneous income. If you received a Form 1099 - MISC, the income amount may not reflect your taxable income since such amount may not equal your allocable share of the Trust s income and deductions. Compute the correct taxable income to report on your tax return by completing the appropriate schedules in this package. (ii) (iii) Ad Valorem Taxes - Ad Valorem Taxes are reported in Table 2 for each Unit held for the period indicated. Production Payments - The Trust generates interest income from the production payments associated with certain properties. Under a production payment, the Trust is treated as having made a mortgage loan to Devon Energy Corporation. Each payment made to the Trust with respect to these properties is treated first as consisting of a payment of interest to the extent deemed accrued. This interest income is reported in Table 3. The basis in this royalty has been fully recovered, accordingly, the entire production payment received for 2007 will be treated as interest income. (iv) Original Issue Discount - Unitholders are required to report Original Issue Discount (OID) attributable to the Treasury Obligations as taxable income. 4
OID is generally the difference between the purchase price of the Treasury Obligation and its maturity value, allocated to the period the obligation is outstanding. The amount of OID reported to you on Form 1099 - OID (the reportable OID ) has been calculated in accordance with IRS Regulations which assume the Treasury Obligations were purchased at original issue. Since the Trust did not purchase the Treasury Obligations at original issue, the amounts shown in Box 1 of the Form 1099 - OID you received is not the correct amount to include in taxable income. Compute the correct taxable OID to report on your tax return by completing the appropriate schedules in this package. (v) Reporting OID Income - OID income is reported on line 8a, Form 1040. You must attach Schedule B, Interest and Dividend Income, which supports the amount shown on line 8a of Form 1040, since you will be reporting OID different than the amounts shown on Form 1099 - OID. Complete Worksheet B to determine your taxable OID. To properly report OID, record separately the full amount of OID shown on each Form 1099 - OID you received on Part I, line 1, of Schedule B. (A) If taxable OID (as computed on Worksheet B) is less than the amount shown on the Form 1099: 1) Subtotal all interest income listed on the Form 1099, 2) Below the subtotal, write OID Adjustment and show the OID you are not required to report, and 3) Subtract that OID amount from the subtotal and enter the result on line 2. (B) If taxable OID (as computed on Worksheet B) is greater than the amount shown on the Form 1099: 1) Subtotal all interest income listed on the Form 1099, 2) Below the subtotal, write OID Adjustment and show the additional OID, and 3) Add that OID amount to the subtotal and enter the result on line 2. (vi) Administrative Expenses - Administrative expenses paid by the Trust are reported in Table 4. As previously mentioned, administrative expenses for the 2007 tax year also include payments from the Trust to Devon as recoupment of overpayments made by Devon in prior years. See the quarterly distribution 5
announcements and the Trust financial statements (SEC filings) for additional details on the payments to Devon. (c) (d) Purchase Price Allocation. By acquiring Trust Units, Unitholders are deemed for tax purposes to have purchased a direct interest in the Treasury Obligations and the Trust assets. Unitholders are required to allocate their purchase price among the Treasury Obligations and each of the assets of the Trust based on the relative fair market value of such interests. Worksheet A is provided to assist in such an allocation for Units purchased in 2007. For Unitholders who purchased Units in prior years, the purchase price has already been allocated in a previous reporting booklet. Please note that a copy of Worksheet A should be maintained in your permanent tax records for use in the event Units are sold. Gain/Loss on Units Sold. Each Unitholder will realize gain or loss on the sale or exchange of Units measured by the difference between the amount realized and the adjusted basis for each Unit. For federal income tax purposes, the sale of a Unit will be treated as a sale by the Unitholder of a direct interest in the Treasury Obligations and each of the properties of the Trust. Therefore, gain or loss must be calculated for the interest in the Trust and Treasury Obligations separately. Gain or loss realized by a Unitholder who is not a dealer and has held the Units for more than one year will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss, except to the extent of depletion recapture amounts for the Net Profits Royalties, which will be treated as ordinary income. Gain or loss on Units held for less than one year, except to the extent of depletion recapture amounts for the Net Profits Royalties, will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss. Worksheet E is provided to assist in the calculation of gains or losses on the sale of Units. Gains and losses attributable to the Treasury Obligations will generally be reported on Schedule D of Form 1040. With respect to the Trust, gains to the extent of depletion recapture will be reported on Form 4797. Gains in excess of depletion recapture and all losses will generally be reported on Schedule D of Form 1040. See the instructions for Schedule D of Form 1040 and the instructions for Form 4797 for further information on proper reporting. (e) Gain/Loss on Sale of an Interest in the Net Profits Royalties. Each Unitholder will realize gain or loss on the sale by the Trust of an interest in the Net Profits Royalties. For federal income tax purposes, the sale by the Trust of an interest in the Net Profits Royalties will be treated as a sale by Unitholders of a direct interest in the Net Profits Royalties. Therefore, Unitholders must calculate gain or loss on the sale. Gain or loss realized by a Unitholder who is not a dealer and has held the Units for more than one year will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss, except to the extent of depletion recapture amounts, which will be treated as ordinary income. Gain or loss on Units held for one year or less, except to the extent of depletion recapture, will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss. Worksheets F1 and F2 are provided to assist in the calculation of gains or losses on the sale of an interest in the Net Profits Royalties by the Trust. Gains, to the extent of depletion recapture, will be reported on Form 4797. Gains in excess of depletion 6
recapture and all losses will generally be reported on Schedule D of Form 1040. See the instructions for Schedule D of Form 1040 and the instructions for Form 4797 for further information on proper reporting. (f) Tax Shelter Registration. The Trust has registered with the IRS as a tax shelter and the IRS has issued the Trust a tax shelter registration number which is set forth below. You must report the registration number (as well as certain other information) on IRS Form 8271, which must then be attached to the return on which you claim any income, deduction, loss, credit or other tax benefit. The tax shelter registration number issued to the Trust is 92322000636. Issuance of the tax shelter registration number does not indicate that this investment or the claimed tax benefits have been reviewed, examined or approved by the IRS. 2. Computation of Depletion Unitholders should determine their depletion allowance by taking the greater of cost or, if eligible, percentage depletion allowable. A Unitholder will be eligible for percentage depletion (an Eligible Unitholder ) if such Unitholder is an independent producer, which generally includes persons who are not substantial refiners or retailers of oil or gas or their primary products. (a) (b) Cost Depletion. Unitholders should utilize Worksheet C1 to calculate the appropriate amount of the allowable deduction for cost depletion. In calculating the cost depletion amount, Worksheet A of the current year and Worksheet D of the prior year will also be required. The depletion factors were obtained by dividing production for the year by beginning of the year reserves. Percentage Depletion. Percentage depletion is a statutory allowance generally equal to 15% of the gross income from production of a property, subject to a net income limitation which is 100% of the taxable income from the property (computed without regard to depletion deductions and certain loss carrybacks). However, percentage depletion is only available on the equivalent of 1,000 barrels of production per day. Eligible Unitholders should utilize Worksheet C2 to calculate the appropriate amount of the allowable deduction for percentage depletion (see additional comments below). Eligible Unitholders should note that the overall allowable percentage depletion deduction for a taxpayer is subject to several limitations. Certain Unitholders may not be entitled to the full deduction of percentage depletion on Trust income as calculated with this reporting package. Additionally, state rates of percentage depletion may vary from the Federal rate of 15%. Percentage depletion is generally only available to independent producers on the equivalent of 1,000 barrels of production per day. Other taxable income limitations also exist. Therefore, Unitholders should consult their tax advisor regarding their eligibility for percentage depletion as well as their overall allowable percentage depletion deduction for Federal and state income tax purposes. In this regard, Trust information on equivalent barrels 7
of oil and thousand cubic feet of gas (per Unit) attributable to Gross Net Profits Royalty Income has been provided in Tables 7A and 7B on page 35. 3. Reconciliation of Net Income and Cash Distributions The difference, if any, between the per Unit taxable income for the year and the per Unit cash distributions is reconciled in the section at the bottom of Worksheets 1 and 2. The reconciling items consist of items which are not currently deductible, such as increases in cash reserves established by the Trustee, and items which are not currently taxable, such as decreases in cash reserves and the principal portion of the production payments received. In addition, items which are included in taxable income or loss which have no cash impact are also reconciling items. This latter category includes the OID income recognized on the Treasury Obligations and the depletion deduction. 4. Adjustments to Basis Worksheet D has been provided to assist each Unitholder in tracking basis in the Units owned. Basis is increased by the amount of taxable OID interest income recognized by the Unitholder. Basis is decreased (not below zero) by the amount of depletion claimed and the amount of principal payments received with respect to the production payments. Basis is also adjusted by other miscellaneous items as indicated on Worksheet D. 5. Portfolio Income Royalty income is generally considered portfolio income under the passive activity rules. Therefore, Unitholders holding Units as an investment should not consider the taxable income from the Trust to be passive income in determining net passive income or loss. Unitholders should consult their tax advisors for further information regarding the passive activity rules. 6. Administrative Expenses Expenses of the Trust will include administrative expenses of the Trustee. Such expenses should be claimed as a deduction on Schedule E of Form 1040 as noted in Worksheets 1 and 2. 7. State Income Tax Returns Revenues from the Trust are from sources located in various states. A Unitholder may be required to file state income tax returns and/or to pay taxes in those states imposing income taxes. Unitholders may be subject to penalties for failure to comply with such requirements. Worksheet G has been provided to assist Unitholders in meeting state income tax filing requirements in each of these states. Unitholders should consult their tax advisors regarding state income tax filing requirements. 8
WORKSHEETS 9
GENERAL INFORMATION - WORKSHEETS The instructions below will assist you in completing the worksheets that follow. Each purchase and sale of a block of Units will require the completion of a separate set of worksheets for that block. (e.g., If you purchased 1,000 Units and later sold 500 of the Units, you would need to complete two separate sets of worksheets for each 500 Unit block.) You should therefore make copies of the worksheets if you purchased and/or sold blocks of Units on multiple dates. All calculations should be carried to 4 decimal places with the exception of daily taxable OID which should be carried to 5 decimal places. A.
