The Features and Purpose of the Schedule K-1 (Form 1065)

A Schedule K-1 is a part of a Form 1065 which should be filed each tax season and sent to the IRS in order to manage members of a partnership.

According to U.S. law, a flow-through small-business does not pay income taxes. The responsibility for paying pass-through income falls on the owners of the entities in proportion to their shares in the share capital and they include the partnership’s tax amounts to the personal return.

The parties are free to distribute their rights and obligations, profits and expenses among themselves within the limits of their contributions.

A small-business union should report to the IRS its 1065 Form along with the Schedule K-1 before the 15th of March each year. Every member of the organization receives a schedule for the records only and may use it for preparing personal taxes.
