Final 1065 required when 1 partner of PLLC dies?
PLLC was taxed as partnership. One partner died making it a single member PLLC. Is a final 1065 return required? Filed 24 return, but did not mark final. Entity continues with the one partner.

Can I just let it go that it was not marked final? and ask forgiveness if caught?
That is the date the Partnership ended.
I'm crazy tired so maybe this doesn't make sense or I'm mixing something up, but did the 2024 Form 1040 report the gain/loss of the end of the Partnership? Doesn't the "final" 1065 usually trigger reporting of gain/loss of the Partnership interest, based on the Basis? Marking the 1065 as "final" isn't a big deal, but reporting the gain/loss of the Partnership Interest is important.
No gain/loss when a Partnership becomes a single owner entity.
But heirs have a gain/loss in their buyout, reportable on their 1040s. Difference between their basis (date of death FMV +/- their share of partnership income/loss) and the sale price.
How much time elapsed between death and purchase from heirs?
How did you allocate the 2024 income/loss between the partners?
The more I know the more I don’t know.
