Form 1065: Fill & Download for Free

Please pay to file your taxes.. Lol I am not kidding, I do not think there is a free electronic filing system available for the 1065 return. The IRS has a list of approved electronic filing vendors which I have listed at the link below Tax Year 2015 1065 MeF ProvidersI think they are all going to cost you though. The only "free" way to transmit is by paper filing so far as I know.

The LLC in question, what form do they use to file, 1065 or 1120? What form does your LLC use? 1065, 1120, or sch C. What accounting period do both LLC's use calendar or fiscal year? It could just be the timing of everything you need to work with. 1065's are due April 15th, 1120's are due March 15th each year. With the extension when do the partners normally file the return?Also does the LLC in question make a profit each year that is disbursed to the partners? If the answer to this is yes, if the partners do not send the estimated amount of money for their taxes due when filing the extension, the extension is worthless. IRS will just discard it and assess late filing fee.If you do not know the answer to some of the questions above then find them out. It will be to your benefit. I get the feeling you don't want to ruffle any feathers but you are tired of not doing things when you know they should be done and it is not of your own choosing.At this point, take a good hard look at what is, to see what you can do on your part to change the situation to benefit you and still stay within IRS laws and requirements.Another way you can help yourself is look at the last three years of the LLC in question and see what your bottom line was. If it made a profit each year look to see if it went up or down. Next come up with a good estimate of what you think your profit for the current year may be (you could the last quarterly report if they give one) & show that income and file your return in a timely manner. Just submit a typed piece of paper to your tax person titled (In lieu of 2015 K-1) with the partnership EIN# and dollar amount estimated and your/LLC's information on it. Let them know why you are doing it.When you get your K-1 from the partnership balance that against the LLC information on your original return filed, now file all necessary amended returns. This way you avoid IRS penalties and fees. IRS does not fine you for making corrections. If you owe it will be minimal (make sure you send the amount due along with the amended return), if you have a refund, the overage IRS is holding plus 6% simple interest will be refunded to you.Hope this information is of help.

There is a foreign income exclusion IRC 911 of 100,800 in 2015 but the person must beA U.S. citizen who is a bona fide resident of a foreign country or countries for an uninterrupted period that includes an entire tax year,A U.S. resident alien who is a citizen or national of a country with which the United States has an income tax treaty in effect and who is a bona fide resident of a foreign country or countries for an uninterrupted period that includes an entire tax year, orA U.S. citizen or a U.S. resident alien who is physically present in a foreign country or countries for at least 330 full days during any period of 12 consecutive months.But I guess any in excess:The amount of foreign earned income (and foreign housing costs) excluded from an individual's gross income will be used for purposes of determining the rate of income tax and alternative minimum tax (AMT) that applies to his or her nonexcluded income. An individual’s tax on any foreign earned income above the exclusion amount and on any unearned income is computed as if the foreign earned income exclusion was not claimed. The individual's tax will be the excess of the tax that would be imposed if his or her taxable income were increased by the amount(s) excluded, and the tax that would be imposed if his or her taxable income were equal to the excluded amount(s). For this purpose, the excluded amount(s) will be reduced by the aggregate amount of any deductions or other exclusions otherwise disallowed. In many cases this will have the effect of increasing an individual’s U.S. federal income tax to an amount greater than it would have been under prior law.If they paid taxes in a foreign country, they can complete form 1116 You have to do either one credit or exclusion but not bothIf there are foreign bank accounts of over, I believe 100k they have to file form 114 to the Department of treasury and not IRS and this form must be filed electronically.If they have foreign assets IRS form 8939 should be completed with the tax return. This one needs to be filed with the return, 1120 (C corp), 1065.
