SERVICES
A partnership return connects the entity's books, ownership terms, allocations, capital-account information, state filings, and each owner's Schedule K-1. Tavella CPA Group prepares federal and applicable state partnership returns for accepted engagements and identifies missing records, filing issues, and owner-level items that may require separate review.

Discuss a Partnership Tax ReturnRECORDS AND FACTS
A complete Form 1065 scope starts with the entity's records and the facts that affect allocations and owner reporting.
BEFORE YOU REQUEST A CALL
Helpful details include the tax year, number of partners, states involved, filing deadline, prior return, and whether the books are ready. Tavella CPA Group confirms the required returns, records, scope, timing, and fee before work begins.
ANTICIPATED DELIVERABLE
The engagement identifies the entity returns and K-1s included. Partner personal returns, basis calculations outside the return scope, cleanup, legal work, and other projects remain separate unless accepted in writing.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Common items include tax-ready financial statements, a general ledger, ownership and operating-agreement information, contributions, distributions, partner payments, debt, fixed assets, prior returns, and state activity. The exact request depends on the partnership's facts.
Not automatically. Form 1065, Schedule K-1, and each partner's personal return are separate filings. The written scope identifies every return and coordination service included.
After engagement setup, use the secure client portal and the upload instructions provided by Tavella CPA Group. Do not send Social Security numbers, tax returns, bank information, or other sensitive documents through the public contact form or ordinary email.
Yes. Organizers, secure document uploads, messages, electronic signatures, invoices, and final documents can be handled online through the appropriate secure workflow.
Only the federal and state filings listed in the written scope are included. If another state filing is identified, the additional scope and fee are confirmed before that work proceeds.
Timing depends on the service, complexity, completeness of the information provided, filing deadline, and current availability. Expected timing is discussed when the scope is confirmed; submitting a consultation request does not reserve a filing deadline.
Tavella CPA Group will identify the missing items and explain what is needed next. Preparation or filing may need to pause until the required information is received, and any deadline or extension options will be discussed based on the circumstances.
Only when representation is expressly included in the written engagement. Audit, examination, and notice-response work are otherwise reviewed and scoped separately.
