Monthly royalty payments will be issued when an owner’s account reaches a minimum balance of $100. This threshold can be changed to $25 upon written request.

No, a stale dated check can not be cashed. Once a check is stale dated, we will void that check and reissue the payment with the next month’s royalty payment. Should 3 or more consecutive checks not be cashed, we may place the account in suspense until we are able to make contact with the owner. Should you have any questions regarding a stale check, please contact us at royaltyrelations@boazenergy.com.

Royalty payments may be suspended (or held in suspense) for the following reasons:

• We have not received a signed Division Order relating to the property.
• We do not have the royalty owner’s current address.
• We are missing the royalty owner’s Tax ID number of W-9.
• We received notice of an assignment of royalty interest.
• We received notice of the death of the royalty owner.
• We are missing other documentation, title instruments or document confirming ownership by the royalty owner.
• We received notice of disputes involving proper appointment or ownership of the royalty interest.

The Texas Natural Resources Code gives an owner of a royalty interest in oil and gas produced in Texas the right to request certain information from exploration and production companies.  Some of this information is provided on the check detail that are issued with each payment. For example, we provide the heating value of gas under the heading of “BTU” and information relating to itemized deductions are listed under each product on the check detail. If a royalty owner would like to request additonal information covered by Section 91.504 of the Texas Natural Resources Code, that request must be made in writing by certified mail to the address listed below. We will respond by certified mail within 60 days of the request, as required by the Texas Natural Resources Code.

Owners that have a working interest or are an unleased mineral interest owner that share in the well’s operating expenses will receive a 1099-NEC instead of a 1099-MISC

The IRS requires that royalty payments be reported on a 1099 and issued on or before January 31st of the following taxable year, or the first business day thereafter is January 31st falls on a weekend. Please note, we are required to report payments made based on the date the payment was issued, not when the payment was cashed.

The IRS requires that we report the gross royalty payments issued within a given year. This amount is higher than your check amount due to severance taxes, marketing deductions, and other expenses withheld from your royalty payment. Additionally, we are required to report royalty payments made based on the date we issued them, not when the payments were cashed. If you need help reconciling the amount in Box 2 of the 1099-MISC to your check detail, please contact us at royaltyrelations@boazenergy.com.
