General Instructions

Who Must File Florida Form F-1065?

Every Florida partnership having any partner subject to

the Florida Corporate Income Tax Code must file Florida

Form F-1065. A limited liability company with a corporate partner, if classified as a partnership for federal tax purposes, must also file Florida Form F-1065. A Florida

partnership is a partnership doing business, earning income, or existing in Florida.

Note: A foreign (out-of-state) corporation that is a partner in a Florida partnership or a member of a

Florida joint venture is subject to the Florida Income Tax Code and must file a Florida Corporate Income/

Franchise Tax Return (Florida Form F-1120).

A corporate taxpayer filing Florida Form F-1120 may use Florida Form F-1065 to report the distributive share of its partnership income and apportionment factors from a partnership or joint venture that is not a Florida partnership.

Where to File

Florida Department of Revenue

5050 W Tennessee St

Tallahassee FL 32399-0135

When to File

You must file Florida Form F-1065 on or before the first

day of the fourth month following the close of your taxable year.

If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or federal or state holiday, the return is considered to be filed on time if

postmarked on the next business day.

Extension of Time to File

To apply for an extension of time for filing Florida Form

F-1065, you must complete Florida Form F-7004, Florida Tentative Income/Franchise Tax Return and Application for Extension of Time to File Return.

You must file Florida Form F-7004 to extend your time to file. A copy of your federal extension alone will not extend the time for filing your Florida return. See Rule 12C-1.0222, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), for

information on the requirements that must be met for your request for an extension of time to be valid.

Extensions are valid for six months. You are only

allowed one extension.

Attachments and Statements

You may use attachments if the lines on Florida Form

F-1065 or on any schedules are not sufficient. They must

contain all the required information and follow the format of the schedules of the return. Do not attach a copy of the federal return.

Signature and Verification

An officer or person authorized to sign for the entity must

sign all returns. An original signature is required. We will not accept a photocopy, facsimile, or stamp. A receiver,

trustee, or assignee must sign any return required to be filed for any organization.

Any person, firm, or corporation who prepares a return for

compensation must also sign the return and provide:

•Federal employer identification number (FEIN).

•Preparer tax identification number (PTIN).

Rounding Off to Whole-Dollar Amounts

Whole-dollar amounts may be entered on the return and

accompanying schedules. To round off dollar amounts,

drop amounts less than 50 cents to the next lowest dollar

and increase amounts from 50 cents to 99 cents to the

next highest dollar. If you use this method on the federal return, you must use it on the Florida return.

Taxable Year and Accounting Methods

The taxable year and method of accounting must be the same for Florida income tax as it is for federal income tax. If you change your taxable year or your method of accounting for federal income tax, you must also change the taxable year or method of accounting for Florida income tax.

Final Returns

If the partnership ceases to exist, write “FINAL RETURN”

at the top of the form.

General Information Questions

Enter the FEIN. If you do not have an FEIN, obtain one from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). You can:

•Apply online at irs.gov

•Apply by mail with IRS Form SS-4. To obtain this

form, download or order it from irs.gov or call

800-829-3676.

Enter the Principal Business Activity Code that applies to Florida business activities. If the Principal Business Activity Code is unknown, see the IRS “Codes for

Principal Business Activity” section of federal Form 1065.

General Information

Both the income and the apportionment factors are

considered to “flow through” to the members of a

partnership or joint venture.

Use parts I and II of the Florida Partnership Information Return to determine each partner’s share of the Florida partnership income adjustment.

Parts III and IV are used to determine the adjustment that must be made to each partner’s apportionment factors. For example, a corporate partner’s share of the partnership’s sales within Florida will be added to the

corporation’s sales within Florida. The partner’s share of the partnership’s “everywhere sales” will be added to the corporation’s “everywhere sales.” The corporation’s sales apportionment factor, as reflected on Schedule III of Florida Form F-1120, will be equal to:

(corporation’s Florida sales +

share of partnership’s Florida sales) (corporation’s everywhere sales + share of partnership’s everywhere sales)

Part I. Florida Adjustment to

Partnership Income

Line A. Additions to federal income

1.Federal tax-exempt interest

Enter the amount of interest which is excluded from ordinary income under section (s.) 103(a), Internal Revenue Code (IRC), or any other federal law, less

the associated expenses disallowed in computing ordinary income under s. 265, IRC, or any other law.

2.State income taxes deducted in computing federal ordinary income

Enter the sum of any tax on or measured by income,

which is paid or accrued as a liability to the District of Columbia or any state of the United States and is deductible from gross income in computing federal ordinary income for the taxable year. You should exclude taxes based on gross receipts or revenues.

3.Other additions

Enter any other items you are required to add as an adjustment to calculate adjusted federal income.

Line B. Subtractions from federal income

Enter any items required to be subtracted as an adjustment to calculate adjusted federal income.

For example, s. 220.13(1)(e), F. S., provides for a

subtraction taken equally over a seven year period corresponding to the add back to adjusted federal income for the special bonus depreciation.

Line C. Subtotal

Subtract Line B from Line A.

Line D. Net adjustment from other partnerships or joint ventures

If, because of Florida changes, the partnership’s share

of income from other partnerships or joint ventures is different from the amount included in federal taxable

income, you must make an appropriate adjustment on Line D. Attach a schedule explaining any adjustment.

Line E. Partnership income adjustment

Calculate the total partnership income adjustment (sum of Lines C and D). Enter net increases to income on Line 1. Enter net decreases to income on Line 2.

Part II. Distribution of Partnership

Income Adjustment

Distributing each partner’s share of the total partnership

income adjustment (Part I, Line E) is accomplished in

Part II.

Each corporate partner must enter its share of the adjustment in Column (c) on its Florida Corporate Income/ Franchise Tax Return (Florida Form F-1120). It should enter increases under “Other Additions” on Schedule I, Florida Form F-1120 and should enter decreases under “Other Subtractions” on Schedule II, Florida Form F-1120.

Part III. Apportionment Information

You must complete this part if either the partnership or any of the partners subject to the Florida Income Tax Code does business outside Florida.

Florida taxpayers doing business outside the state must apportion their business income to Florida based on a three-factor formula. There are exceptions to this three-factor formula for insurance companies, transportation services, citrus processing companies,

taxpayers granted permission to use a single sales factor under s. 220.153, F.S., and taxpayers who were given

prior permission by the Department to apportion income using a different method under s. 220.152, F.S.

The three-factor formula measures Florida’s share of adjusted federal income by ratios of the taxpayer’s property, payroll, and sales in Florida, to total property, payroll, and sales found or occurring everywhere.

For more information about apportioning income see s. 220.15, F.S., and Rule 12C-1.015, F.A.C.

III-A, Line 1 (and Part III-C). Average value of property The property factor is a fraction. The numerator of

this fraction is the average value of real and tangible personal property owned or rented and used during the taxable year in Florida. The denominator is the average value of such property owned or rented and used

everywhere during the taxable year. The property factor for corporations included within the definition of financial organizations must also include intangible personal

property, except goodwill.

Property owned is valued at original cost, without regard to accumulated depreciation. Property rented is valued at eight times the net annual rental rate. You must reduce the net annual rental rate by the annual rental rate received from sub-rentals.

In Part III-C, Lines 1 through 4, enter the beginning- of-year and end-of-year balances for property owned and used within Florida, as well as property owned and used everywhere. Place the total value of the columns on Line 5. Calculate the average values as provided on Lines 6 and 7. Enter the Florida average in Part III-A,

Line 1, Column (a). Enter the average everywhere in Part III-A, Line 1, Column (b).

III-A, Line 2. Salaries, wages, commissions, and other compensation

The payroll factor is a fraction. The numerator of this fraction is the total amount paid to employees in Florida during the taxable year for compensation. The denominator is the total compensation paid to employees

everywhere during the taxable year. Enter the numerator in Part III-A, Line 2, Column (a) and enter the denominator in Part III-A, Line 2, Column (b).

For purposes of this factor, compensation is paid within Florida if:

(a)The employee’s service is performed entirely within

Florida, or

(b)The employee’s service is performed both within and without Florida, but the service performed outside Florida is incidental to the employee’s service, or

(c)Some of the employee’s service is performed in

Florida and either the base of operations or the place from which the service is directed or controlled is in Florida, or the base of operations or place from which the service is controlled is not in any state in which some part of the service is performed and the employee’s residence is in Florida.

The partnership must attach a statement listing all

compensation paid or accrued for the taxable year other than that as shown on federal Form 1125-A or page 1 of

the federal Form 1065.

III-A, Line 3. Sales

The sales factor is a fraction. The numerator of this fraction is the total sales of the taxpayer in Florida during the taxable year. The denominator is the total sales of

the taxpayer everywhere during the taxable year. Enter the numerator in Part III-A, Line 3, Column (a) and the denominator in Part III-A, Line 3, Column (b).

Florida defines the term “sales” as gross receipts without regard to returns or allowances. The term “sales” is not

limited to tangible personal property, and includes:

(a)Rental or royalty income if such income is significant in the taxpayer’s business.

(b)Interest received on deferred payments of sales of real or tangible personal property.

(c)Sales of services.

(d)Income from the sale, licensing, or other use of intangible personal property such as patents and copyrights.

(e)For financial organizations, income from intangible personal property.

Sales will be attributable to Florida using these criteria:

(a)Sales of tangible personal property will be “Florida sales” if the property is delivered or shipped to a purchaser within Florida.

(b)Rentals will be “Florida sales” if the real or tangible personal property is in Florida.

(c)Interest received on deferred payments of sales of

real or tangible personal property will be included in

“Florida sales” if the sale of the property is in Florida.

(d)Sales of service organizations are within Florida if the services are performed in Florida.

For a financial organization, “Florida sales” will also

include:

(a)Fees, commissions, or other compensation for financial services rendered within Florida.

(b)Gross profits from trading in stocks, bonds, or other securities managed within Florida.

(c)Interest, other than interest from loans secured by mortgages, deeds of trust, or other liens on real or tangible personal property found outside Florida.

(d)Dividends received within Florida.

(e)Interest charged to customers at places of business maintained within Florida for carrying debit balances of margin accounts, without deduction of any costs incurred in carrying such accounts.

(f)Interest, fees, commissions, and other charges or gains from loans secured by mortgages, deeds of trust, or other liens on real or tangible personal property found in Florida or from installment sale agreements originally completed by a taxpayer or his agent to sell real or tangible personal property located in Florida.

(g)Any other gross income, including other interest resulting from the operation as a financial organization within Florida.

III-B. Special Industry Apportionment Fraction

Special methods of apportioning income by taxpayers providing insurance or transportation services are provided. For example, the income attributable to transportation services is apportioned to Florida by

multiplying the adjusted federal income by a fraction.

The numerator is the “revenue miles” within Florida and the denominator is the “revenue miles” everywhere. For

transportation other than by pipeline, a revenue mile is the

F-1065N

R. 01/19

Page 4 of 4

transportation of one passenger or one net ton of freight the distance of one mile for a consideration.

Part IV. Apportionment of Partners’ Share

Each partner’s share of the apportionment factors is determined by multiplying the amount in Part III-A, on

Lines 1, 2, and 3 by the percentage interest of each

partner. Amounts determined should be added to each partner’s apportionment factors included on its Florida

Form F-1120.

Partnerships subject to a special industry apportionment fraction (for example, those engaged mainly in transportation services) should adjust this schedule to

report each partner’s share of the special apportionment fraction (for example, revenue miles for transportation companies).
