Tax Planning for Partnerships
For the purposes of the United States federal income tax, trusts, limited liability companies, and limited liability partnerships may all be collectively categorized as partnerships.
The IRS considers partnerships as a channel through which income goes to the owners, in this case, the partners. Partnerships are therefore not considered as individual entities for which in this case only the share of profits or losses gained by the partners shall be the ones subjected to taxation.
As much as the partnership itself does not submit any taxes, they must all submit forms 1065 for which shall be used to determine whether the individual partners have correctly filed their taxes under form 1040 attached with the schedule.
