1065 error

I have a client who came to my office to amend form 1065. After checking and doing my "Due diligence" I found out that his partnership taxes for 2018 and 2019 were filed wrong as he ended his partnership on 2017. Now here my question.

If he already filed his tax return and made the mistake of filing it as 2 member LLC. when I know he should have filed as a sole proprietorship. How can I fix this. Just to mention that it was filed wrong for two years 2018 and 2019.

Thanks

    How'd he file a 1065 if there was only 1 person?

    Sounds like your client prepared his own taxes, not that it changes anything. As I'm sure you are aware that you only have to file this years taxes correctly, and point out the error to client. He will decide if he is going to correct the errors. Don't know if this is correct, but if it were me I would amend the 1065 that ended the partnership, and mark it as final. I would then amend the 1040 for the incorrect years, by adding a schedule C and removing the K1 on 1040X, and explain the change. Just my 2 cents. 😁
