What is tax form 1065?

Tax Form 1065 is a U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) form used by partnerships to report income, deductions, gains, and losses from the partnership's operations. It serves as an informational return, meaning that the partnership itself does not pay income tax; instead, profits and losses are passed through to individual partners who report them on their personal tax returns. Alongside Form 1065, partnerships must also issue Schedule K-1 to each partner, detailing their share of the income and deductions.
