You can submit your completed Schedule K-1 with your individual tax return, either electronically if e-filing or by mailing a paper return to the IRS.
Typically, you will need to include your Schedule K-1 with your tax return and retain any supporting documents related to partnership income, such as income statements and deduction records, for your files.
