This amount is reported as part of the Schedule K-1. You’ll need to pay taxes on this amount on your personal income tax returns.

How is a partnership taxed?

A partnership is not subject to federal income tax. Rather, its owners are subject to Federal income tax on their share of the profit. Form 1065 is used to calculate a partnership’s profit or loss.
