Default Structure of business Partnership - 04-22-2008

A partnership is the relationship existing between two or more persons who join to carry on a trade or business. Each person contributes money, property, labor or skill, and expects to share in the profits and losses of the business.

A partnership must file an annual information return to report the income, deductions, gains, losses, etc., from its operations, but it does not pay income tax. Instead, it "passes through" any profits or losses to itspartners.Each partner includes his or her share of the partnership's income or loss on his or her tax return.
