IRS Form 1065 is a form used to inform any partnership’s profits, losses, deductions, and credits. If your organization is a partnership, this form may be of interest to you. LLCs, foreign partnerships with income in the United States, and religious nonprofits need to submit this form.  A single form is sufficient for partnerships. Once this form has been submitted, each member of the partnership must submit Schedule K-1 Form, which is their own responsibility. A partnership does not pay taxes on its income, but “passes” any profits or losses to its partners. Partners must include items of partnership on their tax or information statements.

Not every partnership is a corporation, according to the IRS. Even without a company, institutions or individuals can become partners of any organization. All partnerships in the United States must file this form. Each member of the partnership is also responsible for schedule it. Each partner is responsible for reporting their share of the partnership’s income or loss on their personal tax returns.  Partners are not employees of the company or organization, so Form W-2 should not be given to partners. The partnership simply provides copies of Program K-1  to the partner.
