SECTION 5
EXCLUSIONS
ENTIRE
The current 1065 e-file Program does not accept and process all
RETURN
partnership return types. Therefore, the following partnership
returns are excluded from the electronic filing mandate
requirement:
Ø Amended returns;
Ø Calendar Year returns (January-December) ending prior to
December 31, 2003.
Ø Returns transmitted by a person not approved by the IRS for
electronic filing;
Ø Returns with Powers of Attorney (POA) attached and the IRS
does not have a POA file. In order to file electronically, remove
the POA from the electronic return prior to transmission. Failure
to remove the POA and subsequent rejection of the return will
not relieve the partnership of its filing requirement, if it is
required to file. Partnerships required to file under IRC Section
6011(e)(2) that fail to do so can be assessed a penalty under
IRC Section 6721.
NOTE: POA must be submitted on paper to the IRS Center
where the taxpayer would normally file a paper
return. The POA must be submitted at least 6 weeks
prior to transmitting a return that includes the
Power of Attorney.
Ø Returns granted approved waivers from electronic filing for Tax
Year 2003;
Ø Returns filed under Sections 6020(b), 501(d)(3) or 761(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code;
Ø Returns for inactive partnerships with no income on pages 1, 2,
3 and 4 of Form 1065.
