First I'm hearing about this but luckily haven't gotten a K-1
yet in my trading career. That is BS and they should warn you just
like Fidelity warns me when I buy a leveraged ETF like SPXS or when
I buy a stock they deem to be a "penny stock". They review the
risks with you prior to submitting the order.
Sorry for being a noob, but what are some common ETFs or stocks
that might trigger a K-1? I want to avoid those.

Damn, good to know oatdust, thanks! This was my first year
playing with UNG and held for about a month and made a small
profit. Luckily, I made that play within a Roth IRA which should
prevent taxes. Google says I'll get a K-1 for information purposes
but owe no taxes.
First I'm hearing about this
Question re: USO - if you trade it multiple times ...

To be fair, it works

To be fair, it works both ways.
One time I invested 50K in USO, didn't hold that long and got a K-1 claiming a 1.2K loss.
Tax season is full of surprises when you invest in K-1 ETFs.
