Page 4 of the Form 1065 instructions lists the different IRS addresses for filing Form 1065, K-1s, along with the various schedules and attachments, based on state. Make sure that you sign page 1 of the Form 1065. The Form 1065 instructions can be found on the bivio taxes page.

You will probably need to file in the state where your club is located. You may also have to file in other states where your members reside. You can see the state filing requirements here: https://www.bivio.com/site-help/bp/State_Tax_Requirements_Help.

If you still have questions, send a message to support@bivio.com.

I thought you said we didn't have to file in Indiana. Please check this out.

As a resident of Indiana, we do have to file an IT-65 (11800) as a general partnership. Forms IT-20S (49181), Schedule E (49105), and Schedule Composite (49188) if there are out of state residents members must be included as well.

After a tip that it was not necessary, I contacted the State Office for clarification. The tip turned bad just like a bad stock tip. :(

Marty,

The State Filing Requirement help page suggests contacting support regarding IN filing requirements. The reason is that the IT-65 instructions state that partnerships "doing business" in Indiana must file, but the definition of "doing business" doesn't seem to include investment clubs. On the other hand, IC 6-3-4-10 states "...every partnership doing business in this state, every partnership any partner of which is a resident, and every partnership which has gross income derived from sources within this state, shall make a return..." (emphasis added)

Sometimes the obvious answer based on the form instructions doesn't fully reflect the law.

It also doesn't help if you can call and get two different answers to the same question on how the instructions should be interpreted.

Ira and Marty,

How true.  And, the few times I have talked to an actual rep of the Indiana Department of Revenue, they have always said, "file the return."

Ira,

I guess you can call this a first class ambiguous, hazy, abstruse or obscure (take your pick; Webster has more) situation. 😊

Question: How can the state prove that an investment club's gross incomes are or are not derived from sources within this state? We do file Indiana partnership tax forms and doubt that we will ever stop.

Thank for your reply.

The general rule is that income from intangible assets has no geographic source. Income from sources within a state usually is income derived from real estate, tangible personal property, a business operating within a state or providing goods/services within a state, etc. Of course, each state is free to define this as it sees appropriate.
