Where to mail form 1065

Form 1065, the U.S. Partnership Return, is filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and can be mailed to the following address:

Internal Revenue Service P.O. Box 802551 Dallas, TX 75380-2551

However, the IRS recommends e-filing Form 1065 instead of mailing a paper return. E-filing is faster, more accurate, and helps reduce errors. You can e-file Form 1065 through the IRS's Electronic Filing System (e-file) or through a tax preparation software provider.

If you need to mail a paper return, make sure to:

  1. Use the correct address: P.O. Box 802551, Dallas, TX 75380-2551.
  2. Sign and date the return: Both the general partner and the authorized representative (if applicable) must sign and date the return.
  3. Attach all required schedules and forms: Make sure to attach all required schedules and forms, such as Schedule K-1 (Partner's Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc.), Schedule M-1 (Reconciliation of Income (Loss)), and Schedule M-3 (Net Income (Loss) Reconciliation).
  4. Use the correct postage: Use a first-class stamp or a certified mail receipt with a return receipt requested.
  5. Keep a copy: Keep a copy of the return and all attachments for your records.

Remember to file Form 1065 by the deadline, which is typically March 15th for calendar-year partnerships. If you need more time to file, you can request an automatic six-month extension by filing Form 7004, Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File Certain Business Income Tax, Information, and Other Returns.
