Form 1065 is the US Return of Partnership Income. Every partnership should file Form 1065 with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The purpose of the Form 1065 is to report the losses of the partnership, gains, deductions, and report income to the IRS. It is filed to show how much money they have earned or how it was divided among other partners. It provides full transparency in finances and helps the IRS track income.

      You can file a Form 1065 by mail or electronically. As recommended by the IRS, you should file your Form 1065 electronically, as it is a quicker way and easier to fill out. Partnerships that are less than 100 can fill out a paper form if they want to.

      • Approved saved tax software
