Once upon a time, partnerships were “the default form of business and provided the benefit of pass-through taxation, but lacked the important feature of limited liability” (Chrisman, 2010, p. 465).

- Spouse A’s partnership share of income is reported because in a partnership the partners are to report their share of their business on their individual return.

A buy/sell agreement may be included in the articles of the partnership to allow the

Partnerships use form 1065 to report income and losses, but taxes are not collected or paid from it, instead, the partners pay the taxes on their own personal tax returns. Each partner is allocated their share of the income/loss according to the partnership agreement. This is done through a schedule K-1. In this case, Spouse A will report $142,000 as income on the couple’s 1040.

Spouse A’s $142,000 income from his K-1 is his partnership income. This is included in his taxable income.

Some states that do not allow the separate reporting see the LLC as meaning not to be reported separately from the individual.

According to IRC § 1372 any person owning more than 2% of the S Corporation, or holding more than 2% of the voting power, is considered a partner of the business. What!
