He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The due date for a calendar-year Form 1065 is March 15th, with a six-month extension available via Form 7004. - Form 1065 is an informational return; tax liability flows through to individual partners via the Schedule K-1. - Separately stated items, like capital gains and charitable contributions, are not part of ordinary business income and are reported directly to partners. - A common exam trap is to incorrectly subtract separately stated items when calculating a partnership's ordinary business income. - Under the BBA audit regime, tax deficiencies are assessed at the partnership level unless a 'push-out' election is made to pass the liability to the partners from the year under review.
