Don't overlook these!
Updated for 2011
A partnership must have its own Federal Employer Identification Number because it is a separate tax reporting entity from it partners.
In other words, a partnership is not a tax-paying entity, but, it must report partnership income and expenses to the IRS annually on an information return, Form 1065.
The partnership also reports partners' share of income, expenses, deductions, and credits on Schedule K-1.
