Where to file Form 1065 for LLC partnership tax return?

The good news is you don't need to worry about sending the Schedules B-1, B-2, and K-1 forms to different addresses. All of those schedules are actually considered part of your Form 1065 package. You should mail the complete Form 1065 package (which includes the main 1065 form plus all the schedules including B-1, B-2, and both K-1s) to the address shown in the table you mentioned. The specific mailing address depends on your location, but it would be one of the IRS service centers that handles business returns. Keep in mind that you need to also provide each partner (including yourself) with a copy of their respective Schedule K-1 for their personal tax returns. The K-1 shows each partner's share of income, deductions, and credits that they'll need to report on their individual returns. Given the relatively small amount of income involved ($1,000 split two ways), this shouldn't be too complex, but it's important to get the filing right to maintain your LLC's good standing.

After struggling with my partnership return last year, I found this amazing tool called taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) that saved me so much time and confusion. I uploaded my forms and it analyzed everything, telling me exactly what I needed to fix before sending them off. It caught a mistake I made on my K-1 allocations that would have been a nightmare to correct later. The best part was that it explained where everything needed to be filed and even generated a cover letter for my mailing. Super helpful for small partnerships like yours where hiring an expensive accountant doesn't make sense for the amount of income.

Wanted to follow up about taxr.ai that I mentioned I was considering. I gave it a try for our real estate partnership return and wow - it caught THREE allocation errors I would have missed! The interface was super easy to use - just uploaded my draft forms and within minutes got a detailed report. The most helpful part was actually the filing instructions. It specifically told me which forms needed to be attached in what order and where everything needed to be sent based on our location. Even gave me the exact IRS address for our partnership return. Definitely using this every year from now on. Our return was way more complicated than your summer camp LLC, so I'm sure it would handle yours easily!

If you're having trouble getting answers from the IRS about where to file, I was in the same boat last year. After spending literally days trying to get through to someone at the IRS, I found Claimyr (https://claimyr.com). They have this service that gets you connected to an actual IRS agent without the insane hold times. Check out their demo video: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c I was skeptical at first, but they got me through to someone who confirmed exactly where I needed to send my partnership forms and what needed to be included. The agent even gave me tips about common mistakes to avoid with the K-1s. Saved me so much headache and potential filing errors.

I need to eat my words about Claimyr. After posting my skeptical comment, I decided to try it since I needed to ask about a missing refund issue anyway. Holy crap, it actually worked! I've been trying to reach someone at the IRS for THREE WEEKS about my partnership filing questions. Using Claimyr, I got through to an agent in about an hour. The agent confirmed that all my LLC forms (1065, B-1, B-2, K-1s) should go together in one package to the address listed for my state. They also mentioned that if I file electronically, I don't need to worry about mailing anything at all - the system handles all the forms as a package automatically. Definitely going to e-file next time! Sometimes being proven wrong is actually the best outcome.

Just wanted to add that if this is your first time filing a 1065, you might not be aware of the penalties for late filing - they're HARSH. $210 PER MONTH PER PARTNER (for up to 12 months). So for your 2-person LLC that would be $420 per month! Even though your income is really small ($1,000 split), the penalties are the same regardless of income. So definitely don't miss the deadline. I learned this the expensive way. I thought since our partnership barely made any money the first year, it wasn't a big deal if I filed a few months late. Ended up with a $2,520 penalty! Complete nightmare.

Has anyone here used TaxAct for partnership returns? Their software is cheaper than the bigger names but I'm not sure if it handles all the schedules properly.

Just wanted to share my experience since I was in a similar situation last year with a small LLC partnership. You're absolutely right that the IRS website can be confusing! The key thing that helped me was realizing that Form 1065 is basically a "package deal" - all those schedules (B-1, B-2, and the K-1s) are considered part of the main return and go to the same address. Think of it like sending a book with multiple chapters rather than separate documents. One tip that saved me stress: if you're getting close to the deadline, definitely consider e-filing instead of mailing. The confirmation is instant, and you don't have to worry about postal delays or whether the IRS actually received your package. Most basic tax software can handle a simple 50/50 partnership return like yours. Also, make sure you keep copies of everything for your records, especially those K-1s since you'll both need them for your personal tax returns. Good luck with the filing!
