Taxes on Mineral rights

My wife and her brother sold their property rights however they kept their mineral rights. The property was producing gas, they have been receiving very small royalty checks. Where might they receive info on any taxes?

The answer depends upon what state they are in. Some states like Texas send a tax bill. Other states like Oklahoma have the operator take the state taxes out before sending the royalty checks. Withholding of federal taxes depends upon what the wording of the Division Order was and if a W-9 was included. Best thing to do is contact the operator and ask.
