🔍 Paper resubmission of rejected Form 1065 e-files
This guide explains what the IRS requires when you need to submit a paper Form 1065 after an electronic filing attempt was rejected or could not be retransmitted successfully.
⚠️ Before You Begin
You should follow these IRS instructions when:
- You submit the return on paper after attempting to file it electronically, or
- At the end of the filing season, you are unable to successfully retransmit corrected returns electronically.
📊 What to Include With the Paper Return
Step 1: Attach a letter explaining why you are filing on paper
Use this when you need to explain the reason for the paper submission.
According to the IRS, you should attach a letter to the paper return explaining why the return was submitted on paper.
Step 2: Include a copy of the Acknowledgment File (ACK FILE)
Use this to help avoid late-filing penalties.
You should also include a copy of the Acknowledgment File sent by the Ogden Submission Processing Center.
A copy of this ACK FILE is needed to bypass assessment of any late-filing penalties.
Step 3: File the paper return to the correct IRS Center within the required timeframe
Use this to ensure the return is sent to the right place and on time.
The entire paper return should be filed at the IRS Center where the partnership would normally file their paper Form 1065 return, within ten (10) days from the date of the return that was rejected electronically.
