That signer reviews the physical pages, signs and dates the return by hand, adds any required physical enclosures, verifies the current IRS destination, and personally mails the final packet. ## How it works 1. **Prepare the paper-filing copy — Use partnership tax software or a qualified preparer to assemble the Form 1065 return.** - 2. **Upload the printable packet — Add the main return and supporting PDFs in the exact order they should print.** - 3. **Enter the authorized signer’s address — Choose where the physical kit should be delivered; do not enter the IRS address.** - 4. **Review the preview — Check page order, identifiers, orientation, content, and readability.** - 5. **Receive, sign, and assemble — The authorized signer hand-signs the paper and adds required physical enclosures.** - 6. **Verify and personally mail — The signer confirms paper-filing eligibility and the current IRS destination, then performs the final mailing.** - ## Fast answer You can order Form 1065 printing online, but PostalForm does not directly file the printed return. Upload the paper-filing PDF and printable supporting documents, then enter a delivery address for the partner or other person authorized to sign under the current Form 1065 instructions. PostalForm sends the print kit to that signer—not to an IRS processing center. [Create my Form 1065 print kit](cta:/forms/tax-return-print-and-sign-kits) After delivery, the authorized signer checks the complete paper packet, adds every required handwritten signature and date, inserts any physical enclosures, confirms that paper filing is allowed, verifies the current IRS destination, and performs the final mailing. ## Why the print kit goes to the signer Remote printing reproduces the content of a PDF; it cannot create a new original handwritten signature on the delivered paper. IRS individual-return processing guidance illustrates the important distinction between an original signature and a photocopied or scanned signature, while the current Form 1065 instructions govern who must sign a partnership return. - [IRS: Current Instructions for Form 1065](https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1065) - [IRS IRM 3.14.1: signature review procedures](https://www.irs.gov/irm/part3/irm_03-014-001r) - [IRS IRM 3.12.2: individual paper-return signature requirements](https://www.irs.gov/irm/part3/irm_03-012-002r) PostalForm uses a conservative print-and-sign model: the physical return first goes to an authorized signer, and that person controls the signature, final assembly, filing address, and mailing. ## Confirm paper filing before ordering Do not assume every partnership can file Form 1065 on paper. Electronic-filing requirements can apply based on the partnership and its filing circumstances, and waiver procedures have separate rules. Confirm the current requirements for the return year before ordering a print kit. This workflow is not appropriate when: - The partnership is required to e-file and does not have an applicable exception or approved waiver. - The return is not yet prepared as a paper-filing copy. - The authorized signer cannot receive, review, and hand-sign the physical packet. - The filing instructions require a submission method the signer cannot complete personally. PostalForm does not evaluate e-file eligibility or waiver status. ## What belongs in a Form 1065 print kit? A partnership return can be much larger than the core form. The paper-filing copy may contain schedules, statements, elections, and partner-related forms required by the current instructions. Before uploading, have the return preparer or tax software confirm: - The correct tax year, partnership name, EIN, and address. - Every return page, schedule, statement, and printable attachment required for the IRS filing copy. - Signature areas available for the authorized person to complete after delivery. - The correct IRS copies of Schedules K-1 and any other partner-related schedules. - Any paper-filing waiver or special statement that must accompany the return. - No duplicate partner-delivery copies, client copies, worksheets, or preparation notes. PostalForm prints what is uploaded and does not decide which schedules or statements belong in the filing. ## The IRS return and partner copies are separate jobs Preparing the partnership’s IRS return and furnishing Schedule K-1 or other copies to partners are different tasks. They can involve different recipients, deadlines, and page sets. The Form 1065 print-and-sign kit is for the authorized signer who will complete the partnership’s paper-return packet. Do not combine multiple partners’ recipient copies into that kit unless the current Form 1065 instructions require those specific copies in the IRS filing packet. If partner copies must be mailed, create separate mailpieces so each partner receives only the tax information intended for that person. ## Two addresses serve different purposes The PostalForm delivery address belongs to the partner or other authorized signer receiving the print kit. It must not be an IRS filing address. After signing and assembling the return, that person must determine the final IRS destination from the current Form 1065 instructions. The address can depend on factors such as the partnership’s principal business location, total assets, whether it is outside the United States, and special filing circumstances. A notice-specific address may differ from a general filing table. PostalForm does not choose or verify the IRS address and does not perform the final mailing. ## After the kit arrives The authorized signer should: 1. Compare the printed packet with the prepared return and verify page order and legibility. 2. Hand-sign and date the return wherever the current Form 1065 instructions require. 3. Add any physical statement, payment, original document, or other enclosure required for the filing. 4. Reconfirm that paper filing is permitted for the partnership. 5. Verify the current IRS address for the tax year and filing circumstances. 6. Personally mail the completed return and keep a copy and final-mailing record. PostalForm’s delivery record documents only the kit sent to the signer. It does not establish that the partnership return was later mailed, timely filed, received, or accepted by the IRS. ## FAQs - **Can PostalForm mail Form 1065 directly to the IRS?** No. PostalForm sends the print kit only to the partner or other authorized signer. - **Can every partnership file Form 1065 on paper?** No. Electronic-filing requirements apply in some circumstances.
