The codes needed for Schedule K-1 reporting are provided for each category. Generally, amounts reported on line 4a as guaranteed payment for services and line 4b as guaranteed payment for the use of capital aren’t considered to be related to a passive activity. For example, guaranteed payments for personal services paid to a partner would not be passive activity income. Likewise, guaranteed payments for capital are treated as interest for purposes of section 469 and are generally not passive activity income.
- In an attachment to each Schedule K-1 issued to a partner, report the partner’s relevant basis allocable to the portion of the real property or historic structure on which the qualified conservation contribution is made.

How to File Form 1065
After completing the form, select ‘Choose a Recipient’ and enter a recipient name and email address to which the completed form will be sent (max. one recipient can be added). If you’re looking to save yourself a headache in preparing the figures you need for Form 165 (and for your business taxes, in general), Lili’s Tax Preparation software do the hard work for you and, most importantly, at a fraction of the cost you may pay to engage a CPA. Returns are products returned by your customers, while allowances refer to financial settlements you made that relate to the supply of defective merchandise. Other income categories, such as interest income, investment income, and dividends, go on line 7. Line K generally doesn’t apply to most small businesses unless you have several business activities across different industries that you’re aggregating. For that reason, multiple-member LLCs are required to file Form 1065, while single-member LLCs are not.
What Is Form 1065?
The sum of the amounts shown on the lines in item L above the line for ending capital account must equal the amount reported on the line for ending capital account. A partner’s ending capital account determined under the tax-basis method may be negative if the sum of a partner’s losses and distributions exceeds the sum of the partner’s contributions and share of income. On the line for other increase (decrease), enter the sum of all other increases or decreases that affected the partner’s capital account for tax purposes during the year and attach a statement explaining each adjustment.
Printing and related support activities
Limited partners are passive investors who don’t participate in business management and have limited liability. The balance at the end of the year should equal the total of the amounts reported as the partners’ ending capital accounts in item L of all the partners’ Schedules K-1. All amounts on the balance sheet should be reported in U.S. dollars.
Report the following information on an attached statement to Schedule K-1. Report each partner’s distributive share of the collectibles (28%) gain (loss) in box 9b of Schedule K-1. You aren’t required to complete item L if the answer to question 4 of Schedule B is “Yes.” If you’re required to complete this item, also see the instructions for Schedule M-2, later.
The partnership must keep its records as long as they may be needed for the administration of any provision of the Code. The partnership must usually keep records that support an item of income, deduction, or credit on the partnership return for 3 years from the date the return is due or is filed, whichever is later. These records must usually be kept for 3 years from the date each partner’s return is due or is filed, whichever is later. It must also keep records that verify the partnership’s basis in property for as long as they are needed to figure the basis of the original or replacement property. Generally, the partnership must get IRS consent to change its method of accounting used to report income or expense (for income or expense as a whole or for any material item). To do so, the partnership must generally file Form 3115, Application for Change in Accounting Method, during the tax year for which the change is requested.
