Taxes, Partnerships, and K-1s
When a partnership return is required
When filings change: When an LLC has more than one owner, it is usually treated as a partnership. The entity then files Form 1065. A pass-through tax return that generates a K-1 to report on your personal tax return.
​​​
K-1 and personal taxes
What the K-1 actually means: After the partnership return is prepared, each owner receives a Schedule K-1 showing their share of income, expenses, and depreciation. Those numbers transfer directly onto your personal return and often determine when you can finish filing.
​​​
Tax concepts simplified
How partnership taxes work: Partnerships are pass-through entities, meaning profits and losses move to owners based on ownership percentages and agreements rather than staying at the entity level.
