Hi there,

My partners & I purchased a restaurant business in 2020. How do we report acquisition cost on 1065?

Thank you

This is a place where tax professionals who have nothing to sell but their knowledge, come to share thoughts with others in the same business. We are very busy now and don’t have time to give free advice. But since you obviously have Internet skills, you will have no problem finding the answer at irs.gov

Kinda depends on what you acquired.  But as a side note, everybody works for free at the link below

First, you have to understand what you "bought."

Real Estate?

Existing entity?

Operating business assets/liabilities?

"How do we report acquisition cost on 1065?"

That's why it depends on what you bought:
