To fill a Form 1065, you must:   

  • You must have a U.S. return of partnership Income, which can be a limited liability partnership, a general partnership, or a domestic partnership. 
     
  • If you are two or more people running a business, then you are considered a partnership and file Form 1065. 
     
  • For the LLC and partnership passed-through entities, which pass losses or profits directly to the LLC or partners. 
     
  • Foreign partnerships are eligible to file Form 1065. However, if a foreign partnership has less than 20,000$ in earnings and gets 1% of its income in the US, it does not have to file Form 1065. 
     
  • Any individual partners who pay taxes on the shares of the business income can file Form 1065 with their IRS Form 1040.
