Form 1065 For Non Resident

[AsimAyyub]

Hello Everyone,

I need to file form 1065 for partnership business where their both partners are non residents and do not have SSN/ITIN and I will use TurboTax Business. So my question is will TurboTax business support to prepare and e-file form 1065 and generate K-1's for each non resident partner without ITIN/SSN? or I can at least prepare and generate K-1's and then file 1065 form to IRS in mail? also will TurboTax allow me to skip the section where it asks to enter SSN/ITIN if so then how? 

I am aware that to report K-1 income for non residents I have to file 1040-NR and have to use different software for that like (Sprintax). 

I just need help and advise about 1065 form as I mentioned above or any other best advise will be highly appreciated. I appreciate the support and help for that. TIA.

@AsimAyyub , 

if the question is limited to can TurboTax business help you prepare and file the 1065 and the K-1s for the partners then the answer is YES.

However, if all the partners of the US entity ( partnership or similar pass through ) are ALL foreign persons, then  your options are a bit limited.  US must have a means to collect taxes due. 

So my suggestion would be  to   

(a) seek professional help; 

(b) convert pass through to a "self" / tax-paying entity type like C-Corp

(c) have at least one partner that is a US person ( citizen/GreenCard/Resident for Tax Purposes ) and with  SSN

 Even for filing 1040-NR you still need a TIN  ( SSN or ITIN ) 

Is there more I can do for you ?

Thanks for your quick reply. They do have one US Citizen person as responsible party on IRS document SS-4 but this person has 0% share in the partnership business ( do you think this person should be on form 1065 even with 0% share?) other 2 people has 50% each and they both are not residents they are foreigners but they earned money via this partnership business in 2025.

If all of the partners are non-residents the partnership is required to withhold taxes and file form 8805.  If you have not withheld tax then the partners need to file W-8BEN to claim treaty benefits or reduced withholding.  All of which is to say that this is better done with Sprintax as those are all out of scope for TurboTax.
