Did you mail or e-file the 1065? Also confirm what tax year it's for. Maybe you were late filing a 2017 or earlier return for the partnership? Also, if the partnership dissolved in a tax year, I think you have something like 90 days after dissolution to file, or March 15th, whichever is first.

Hello! I know this thread is a year old, but it came up in a Google search, so hoping someone can help! I have a partnership that was terminated in June 2019. I filed an extension for the Form 1065 return 3/5/20. I filed the final return 6/9/20. I received an IRS notice CP162 stating the return was filed late. Is the extension not valid because the partnership was terminated? Should the return have been filed 90 days from June 2019? Thank you fellow Turbo Tax community!

if e filed, was it accepted? if yes, there should be postmark report. write back to IRS that it was filed timely and enclosed a copy of postmark report.

if mailed, did you keep receipt. do same as above as far as responding to IRS except enclose copy of postage receipt.

if you don't have receipt and if you have always timely filed in the past, write back and request abatement. your letter should include

statement that prior returns have always been timely filed

and that you have taken steps to insure timely filing in future

and that you are requesting abatement of late filing payment

Thank you. It was e filed and was accepted, on April 9, 2019 for Tax year 2018. I got the confirmation that it was accepted via Turbotax email message. Where do I download the postmark report from?
Thanks.

accepted on 4/9 yet you say filed 3/15. it doesn't take the IRS 3 weeks to accept the return. you can either pay the penalties or if this is your first time filing late you can request they be abated by writing to the IRS. your letter should include the something to the effect this is your first time filing late and you have taken steps (name them) to assure there is no repeat.
