Select the applicable instructions below to find out how to amend Form 1065, US Return of Partnership Income. Refer to the Instructions for Form 1065-X for information on who should file Form 1065-X.

Before you start:

There are two methods for amending a partnership return.

  • Use Form 1065 if you're e-filing the amended return.
  • Use Form 1065-X if you're paper filing the amended return.
