Running a business is already challenging — tax filing shouldn’t make it harder. One of the most important steps in staying compliant is choosing the correct tax form for your business structure. If your business operates as an S Corporation, you will need to file Form 1120-S. If you run a Partnership, you will need to file Form 1065.
Knowing which form applies to your business, what details you need to report, and how the filing process works can make tax season much smoother — and help you avoid unnecessary IRS penalties.
Understanding Your Business Tax Filing Requirements
Form 1120-S: U.S. Income Tax Return for an
S Corporation
- If your company has elected S corporation status, you must file Form 1120-S annually.
- This form reports:
- Business income
- Deductions
- Credits
- Shareholder distributions
- S corporations pass income and losses through to shareholders, making accurate K-1 reporting essential for compliance.
Form 1065: U.S. Return of Partnership Income
- Partnerships, multi-member LLCs, and certain joint ventures must file Form 1065.
- Form 1065 is an informational return. The partnership reports:
- Total income
- Expenses
- Deductions
- Credits
- Each partner receives a Schedule K-1, which reflects their share of the business’s income or loss. The tax liability passes through to the individual partners.

Business returns rarely consist of just the main form. Supporting schedules and attachments are often required to report specific transactions accurately.
