Plain English

This is an information return that partnerships file to report their annual business activity. Unlike corporations, partnerships don't pay tax directly — instead, the income "passes through" to the partners, who report their share on their personal tax returns. Each partner receives a Schedule K-1 showing their portion.

Quick Facts

Who: Partnerships, LLCs taxed as partnerships, and multi-member entities that need to report annual business activity.
What: 1065 (Schedule K-1) — an information return that reports the partnership's income, deductions, gains, losses, and distributions to partners.
When: By the 15th day of the 3rd month after the tax year ends (typically March 15 for calendar-year filers).
Where: Filed with the IRS. Each partner receives a Schedule K-1 with their share of income.
Why: Partnerships do not pay income tax directly; instead, income passes through to partners who report it on their individual returns.
How: Enter partnership information, report income and deductions, calculate each partner's distributive share, and issue Schedule K-1s.
