Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

IRS Notice

On March 24, 2014, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) mailed a “Notice of Beginning of Administrative Proceeding” (the “Notice”) to QR Energy, LP (the “Partnership”) stating that the IRS is commencing an audit of the Partnership’s federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2011. We believe this to be a routine audit of the various items of the Partnership’s income, gain, deductions, losses and credits. We are making this disclosure to satisfy the requirement under applicable Treasury regulations that we notify certain of the Partnership’s limited partners of the Notice within 75 days of mailing of the Notice by the IRS. As indicated in Note 17 of the Partnership’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2014, we are fully cooperating with the IRS in the audit process. Although no assurance can be given, we do not anticipate any change in prior period taxable income. A copy of the Notice is attached as an exhibit hereto.
