Writing Homework Help

1. To complete the Course Project, you will prepare and submit a partnership tax return including IRS Form 1065, U.S. Return of Partnership Income, and accompanying schedules and supporting forms. This can be an extremely complex process requiring consideration of a variety of ever-changing rules within the Internal Revenue Code. In this week’s graded discussion we’ll address the issues relating to each of these IRS forms and how they interconnect to comprise the tax return package. You’ll have the opportunity to ask specific questions here in this discussion and also respond to and collaborate with your classmates and instructor to resolve some of the thornier aspects of the partnership tax return.

First, can anyone summarize the required IRS forms that will be needed to complete the partnership tax return for our Course Project? Once the forms are summarized early in this discussion, we’ll look for subsequent comments explaining the key data elements required to complete each form, and where these data elements can be located within the given fact pattern for the project. Finally, we’ll want to address any areas of potential confusion, such as which specific expenses are deductible versus not deductible for the purposes of reporting nondeductible expenses under the Other Information section, Item 18c, of Schedule K on Form 1065.

There are many details to consider in preparing a partnership tax return, hence the reason that tax professionals require extensive training, so it’s understandable that this Course Project can at first appear overwhelming. Although this is a graded discussion, this is your area this week to comment on and resolve any lingering questions that you may have regarding completion of the partnership tax return project. Can anyone get us started with a relevant question or comment regarding the required IRS forms for this effort?
