Tax Filing Update – K-2/K-3 Filings for Partnerships (LLC) and Subchapter S Corporations

As we had hoped, the IRS finally issued guidance that is relaxing its rules for domestic pass-through entity K-2/K-3 filings for Partnership (LLC) and Subchapter S Corporate income tax filings for 2021 only.  In general, pass-through entities that have no foreign partners or foreign activity will meet exceptions allowed by the IRS and not have to file Schedules K-2 or K-3 for 2021.

Any pass-through entity with foreign partners or foreign activity in either 2020 or 2021 will still need to file Schedules K-2 and K-3 and will need an extension this year to allow for this filing.

What this means for you:

  • You can breathe a sigh of relief!
  • If you have already submitted your information, our team of experienced staff is working to complete your returns as usual.
  • If you have not already done so, bring us your 2021 information. Business returns are due March 15.
