What is the tax filing status of a joint venture?

In Oklahoma, the tax filing status of a joint venture depends on the type of entity it is. A joint venture may be structured as a partnership, a limited liability company (LLC), or a corporation. A joint venture structured as a partnership is taxed as a partnership by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). A partnership must file an Information Return (Form 1065), in addition to filing individual income tax returns (Form 1040). Each partner must report their portion of the partnership’s income, deductions, and credits on their individual income tax returns (Form 1040). A joint venture structured as an LLC is treated as a “disregarded entity” for federal tax purposes, meaning that the LLC is ignored by the IRS. All of the income and expenses of the LLC will be reported on the individual income tax returns of the members. Finally, a joint venture structured as a corporation is taxed as a regular corporation for federal tax purposes. The corporation must file a corporate tax return (Form 1120) and the members must include their respective dividends on their individual income tax returns (Form 1040). In short, the tax filing status of a joint venture in Oklahoma will depend on the type of entity it is structured as. It may be a partnership, an LLC, or a corporation. The type of entity will determine the type of tax return that needs to be filed by the joint venture and the individuals involved.
