Domestic Partnerships
Except as provided below, every domestic
partnership must file Form 1065, unless it
neither receives income nor incurs any
expenditures treated as deductions or
credits for federal income tax purposes.
Entities formed as LLCs that are
classified as partnerships for federal income
tax purposes have the same filing
requirements as domestic partnerships.
