What’s Included for $199
Built for two-member foreign-owned LLCs with no US business activity — the classic dormant Delaware or Wyoming LLC that still owes the IRS an annual partnership return. If your facts are more complex, we tell you before you pay a cent.
Form 1065 — US Return of Partnership Income
The full six-page return, prepared from your answers on the official IRS form — identification, Schedule B with your partnership representative designation, and Schedule K. A required calendar-year 2025 return was due March 16, 2026, or September 15, 2026 with a timely extension.
Schedule K-1 — One for Each Partner
Both partners’ Schedule K-1s, prepared twice: IRS filing copies and partner furnishing copies. Partners without an SSN or ITIN are handled the way the IRS expects — no ITIN application needed, with the foreign-partner statement included.
Schedule K-2/K-3 — Exception Documented
Qualifying small partnerships are exempt from filing Schedules K-2 and K-3. Your package documents the exception and includes the required partner notices. If your facts don’t qualify, we say so before checkout instead of selling you an incomplete return.
Form 8804 — Only If Withholding Applies
Section 1446 withholding only applies when the partnership has effectively connected taxable income allocated to foreign partners. A no-activity LLC typically has none — and if your answers show it applies, we route you to professional review before payment rather than skip a required form.
Form 8805 — Only If Withholding Applies
Same rule: no US effectively connected income means no Form 8805. If your facts trigger it, you’ll know before you pay, with a clean export of your answers to hand any preparer.
Form 8813 — Only If Withholding Applies
Quarterly withholding vouchers only exist when Section 1446 withholding exists. Most dormant LLCs never need them — and we check your answers so you don’t find out the hard way.

Section 1446 Withholding, Explained
Partnerships must withhold tax on ECTI allocated to foreign partners — even if no cash is distributed.
What it is
Under IRC §1446, a partnership with effectively connected taxable income (ECTI) allocated to foreign partners must withhold and remit tax on behalf of those partners. This applies whether or not the partnership actually distributes cash to the partners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Form 1065 if my LLC had no income?
A domestic LLC classified as a partnership generally files Form 1065 unless it neither receives income nor incurs any expenditures treated as deductions or credits for federal income-tax purposes. No activity in the company bank account is not enough by itself: formation, state, registered-agent, software, legal, accounting, or other LLC costs paid by a member can matter. Many dormant LLCs file anyway — a filed return starts the statute of limitations and avoids penalty arguments later. The wizard walks you through exactly this decision.
Can we file without ITINs? Neither partner has one.
Sometimes. A foreign partner who has no separate federal TIN requirement may be able to use the supported paper-filing route with the K-1 identification field blank and an explanatory statement. A partner-level return, section 1446 withholding-credit claim, treaty position, or other federal tax purpose can require a valid TIN. The wizard checks those facts before payment and routes unsupported cases to professional review.
Can I file Form 1065 electronically?
Your package is built for IRS paper filing, which remains fully accepted for small partnerships (the e-file mandate starts at 10+ returns a year or more than 100 partners). E-file transmission is not included. Your instructions give the exact IRS mailing address for your LLC and certified-mail steps so you keep dated proof of filing.
What’s the filing deadline?
March 15 for calendar-year partnerships (March 16 in 2026, since the 15th fell on a Sunday). A timely Form 7004 extension moves the TY2025 deadline to September 15, 2026. If you extended, you still have time — the package prints your extended due date on the instructions.
Do I also need Form 5472?
Maybe — but not automatically. A partnership does not file Form 5472 simply because a foreign partner owns 25% or more. Form 5472 is generally filed by a reporting corporation or a foreign-owned U.S. disregarded entity. Where a related-party structure is involved (for example, a foreign corporation that owns an interest in the partnership), the partnership’s related-party transactions may need a Form 5472 review. Our wizard captures the facts so you and a tax professional can review whether Form 5472 applies — it does not prepare or file an official Form 5472 for the partnership.
What if my situation is more complex?
Then we tell you — before you pay. US income, extra members, entity partners, withholding triggers, or an open K-3 request route you to a professional-review result with a clean export of everything you entered, ready to hand to any CPA. You only pay when the package we generate is the package you need.
