Should a partnership with no income still be required to file a Form 1065 Return?

The IRS has specifically addressed this issue with respect to a partnership's filing requirements. In fact, the IRS has stated clearly that " a domestic partnership must file an income tax form unless it neither receives gross income nor pays or incurs any amount treated as a deduction or credit for federal tax purposes."

This is in sharp contrast to a domestic corporation that is required to file an income tax form whether it has taxable income or not. Fortunately, in your case you would not be required to file a US Form 1065 Partnership tax return if you meet the condition specified above.
