Partnership Tax allocations done right.

For partnerships and multi-member LLCs taxed as partnerships that want allocations and capital accounts kept straight.

overview

Partnership tax returns carry more moving parts than most owners expect. TreeStar prepares Form 1065 and partner K-1s for partnerships and multi-member LLCs taxed as partnerships, starting from reconciled books. We maintain capital accounts, follow the allocation terms in your operating or partnership agreement, and track contributions, distributions, and payments to partners for their services so each partner's K-1 reflects the deal you made. When an agreement is unclear or changes, we bring the numbers and work alongside your attorney so the tax reporting follows the legal terms.

Common questions

Is my multi-member LLC a partnership for tax purposes?

Many multi-member LLCs are taxed as partnerships unless they elect otherwise. We confirm your current classification before preparing the return.

What if our agreement does not address allocations clearly?

We will flag the gap and work alongside your attorney so the agreement and the tax reporting line up.
