Contractor work arrangements are popular. According to the US Government Accountability Office, about one-third of all businesses and almost 90% of Fortune 500 companies use independent contractors in some capacity.

But contractors are very different from employees, and the two mustn’t be conflated—or hefty penalties can apply.

Form 1065, U.S. Return of Partnership Income, is the cornerstone of federal income tax reporting for partnerships. Unlike corporations that file their own taxes, partnerships are “pass-through” entities.
This means that income, losses, deductions, and credits flow through the partnership and are reported on the individual tax returns of its partners. Form 1065 provides the IRS with a comprehensive picture of the partnership’s financial performance, which is then used to prepare each partner’s Schedule K-1.
