1065
U.S. Return of Partnership Income
Form 1065 is the information return a partnership files each year to report its income, deductions, gains, losses and credits. The partnership itself generally does not pay income tax on this form. Each partner reports a share on a Schedule K-1 and pays tax on their own return.
This page covers the 2025 form and its 2025 instructions. The IRS says every domestic partnership must file Form 1065 unless it neither receives income nor incurs deductible or credit-generating expenditures.
A multi-member domestic LLC that has not filed Form 8832 is classified as a partnership and files this return. You can fill out Form 1065 on this page, in your browser, with no account.
Items such as D (employer identification number), F (total assets) and J (Schedule C and Schedule M-3 information). Page 1 also carries the income and deduction lines, and a balance due on line 31 or an overpayment on line 32a.
Questions about ownership, publicly traded interests, debt cancellation, foreign accounts and trusts, the section 754 election, foreign partners, digital asset transactions and the election out of the centralized partnership audit regime.
A summary of all partners' shares of the partnership's income, credits, deductions and other items. Every partnership completes it.
Each partner's share of those items. The partnership gives a K-1 to every partner.
The balance sheet and the reconciliation schedules. Schedule M-2 analyzes partners' capital accounts.
A partner or LLC member signs. A paid preparer signs too, with a PTIN.
Enter the partnership's name, address and EIN, the date the business started, and total assets in item F.
Complete the income and deduction lines. Rental activity income and portfolio income are not reported on page 1 and are not combined with trade or business income there.
Answer each question that applies, attaching the form it refers to. Many answers send you to a separate form, for example Form 8990 or Form 8938.
Enter the totals of all partners' shares. Schedule K and the K-1s must tie out.
Each partner's K-1 lists that partner's profit, loss and capital percentages in item J, and their share of Schedule K items.
Fill in Schedules L, M-1 and M-2 as the instructions require for your partnership.
New for 2025, lines 32b to 32d are direct deposit fields for an overpayment.
A partner or LLC member signs. Add the paid preparer's information if someone prepared it.
You get the real form, filled in a browser tab, with nothing standing between you and the finished PDF.
The 15th day of the 3rd month after the tax year ends. For calendar-year 2025 returns, March 16, 2026 was timely because March 15 fell on a Sunday. Form 7004 requests an extension and must be filed by the regular due date.
The instructions say a K-1 must be given to each partner on or before the day the partnership return is required to be filed.
The address depends on the principal place of business and on total assets in item F. Partnerships filing Schedule M-3 use Ogden, Utah. Partnerships in a foreign country or a U.S. territory use the P.O. Box 409101, Ogden address in the instructions.
Beginning in 2024, partnerships must file electronically if they file 10 or more returns of any type in a year. Partnerships with more than 100 partners must also e-file.
A monthly penalty applies for each month or part of a month the failure continues, up to 12 months, multiplied by the number of persons who were partners at any time during the year. Check the instructions for the current amount.
A separate penalty applies per Schedule K-1 that is late or incorrect.
