Confusion about 8865 or 1065 for partnerships I need to file a 8865 for a foreign partnership. If you're not familiar with that, it's similar to 1065, and I think the question still stands for 1065.
I will explain what I have been told to do for my 2013 return:
Partnership tax year runs from Nov-Oct, so I will use the data from their Nov 2012-Oct 2013 tax year.
On the 8865, I will write 'Nov 1 2012 (striking out the 2013) to Oct 31, 2013' for the date range at the top of the form.
Is this correct? The fact that they pre-fill '2013' into the begin range implies that they want me to cover Nov 1 2013 - Oct 31 2014, but this seems unreasonable to me. |
