e-file 1065 returns

Short period returns

File short period returns using the current year application when necessary.
A taxpayer may need to file a short-period return before the IRS begins accepting returns or before that tax year's application is ready. They can use the current year application by entering the actual beginning and ending dates of the short period. The return should reflect the laws that apply to the short year, even though the application was developed for a prior year.
For short-period corporate returns, taxpayers will sometimes need to attach Form 1128. They also need to explain why they're filing a short-period return or refer to the Revenue Procedure.
If Form 1128 is used, attach it to the top level of the return as a PDF file and describe it as:
Form 1128 for Short Period Return
.
If an explanation is required, you can submit it in the General Dependency XML document or in a PDF. Provide the regulatory citation and explanation in a General Dependency PDF file with the description:
Short Period Return Explanation
.
