Partnerships not required to file a return
A partnership return is not required if all partners are natural persons 
who are residents of Louisiana (R .S. 47:201).
Partnerships that must file a return
Any partnership doing business in Louisiana or deriving any income 
from sources therein, regardless of the amount and regardless of the 
residence of the partners, must file a return of income on Form IT-565 
if any partner is a nonresident of Louisiana or if any partner is not a 
natural person. If the partnership has income that is derived from sources 
partly within and partly outside of Louisiana, Form IT-565B must be 
filed with Form IT-565. The term “partnership” includes syndicates, 
groups, pools, joint ventures, or other unincorporated organizations, 
through or by means of which any business, financial operation, or 
venture is carried on, and that are not trusts, estates, or corporations 
within the meaning of the Louisiana Income Tax Law. 
Income tax returns of partners
Each partner that is a natural person must include on his individual 
return, his distributive share, whether or not such share is distributed 
to or withdrawn by the partner, the net income of the partnership 
during the partnership’s accounting period (whether fiscal or calendar 
year), that ended during his taxable year (whether fiscal or calendar 
year). Form IT-540 is for resident individuals. A nonresident member 
of a partnership who does not have a valid agreement on file with LDR 
must be included in a Composite Partnership Return (Form R-6922). 
Nonresident partners who have a valid agreement or who have other 
income derived from Louisiana sources, must include all income derived 
from Louisiana sources on Form IT-540B. 
Individuals should use the information reported on the federal 
partnership return instead of the amounts shown in the partners’ 
allocation schedule. Corporations should refer to LRS-47:287.93(A)(5).
When and where the return must be filed
Returns for a calendar year must be filed with the Department of 
Revenue, Box 3440, Baton Rouge, LA 70821-3440, on or before May 
15 of the year following the close of the calendar year. Returns for fiscal 
years must be filed on or before the 15th day of the fifth month after 
the close of the fiscal period.
Period to be covered by return
The return must be filed for a calendar year, or for a fiscal year of 12 
months, ending on the last day of any month other than December, 
or for an annual period of 52/53 weeks, if records are kept on this 
basis. You must clearly indicate the beginning and ending dates being 
covered at the top of the return. The accounting period established 
on the first return must be adhered to for subsequent years under 
Louisiana Income Tax Law, unless permission to make a change is 
received from the Secretary of Revenue.
A change by any partnership from one taxable year to another, or the 
adoption by a new partnership for an initial taxable year, must meet the 
provisions of R .S. 47:206(B)(1). A change by a principal partner from 
one taxable year to another must meet the provisions of R .S. 47:206(B)(2). A principal partner is one who has an interest of five percent or more 
in the partnership profits or capital.	
Accrued or received income
If records are kept on an accrual basis, report all income accrued, even 
though it has not been actually received or entered in the records, and 
report all expenses incurred, not just expenses paid.
If records do not show income accrued and expenses incurred, report 
all income received or constructively received, such as bank interest 
credited to your account and expenses paid.
Penalties
The penalty for willfully making a false or fraudulent return or for 
willful failure to make and file the return on time shall not be more 
than $1,000, or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both, 
and shall include the costs of prosecution.

income tax and should not be included in gross income:
(a)
 	
A	
 mounts received under a life insurance contract paid by reason 
of the death of the insured and paid at the death of the insured.

labor, supplies, and other items, that do not add to the value 
or appreciably prolong the life of the property repaired. 
Expenditures for new buildings, machinery, equipment, or 
for permanent improvements or betterments that increase 
the value of the property are chargeable to capital accounts. 
Expenditures for restoring or replacing property are not 
deductible, since such expenditures are chargeable to capital 
accounts or to depreciation reserves.
Line 21	
 D	

epreciation Deduction  — Print the amount of depreciation 
computed on Schedule G. A reasonable allowance for the  exhaustion, wear and tear, and obsolescence of property used 
in the trade or business or of property held by the taxpayer for 
the production of income shall be allowed as a depreciation 
deduction. The allowance does not apply to inventories or 
stock-in-trade, or to land apart from the improvements or 
physical development added to it.	
 	The u	

seful life of an asset can be measured in units of 
production, but the ordinary practice is to measure useful 
life in years. Business experience, engineering information, 
and other relevant factors provide a reasonable basis for 
estimating the useful life of property. The cost (or other 
basis) to be recovered should be charged off over the expected 
useful life of the property.	
 	The D	

epartment of Revenue will permit the use of estimated 
lives allowable for federal income tax purposes. The deduction 
of “bonus” or “first-year” depreciation is allowable.	
 	T	

here are special rules for new assets acquired after 
December 31, 1953. The cost or other basis of an asset 
acquired after December 31, 1953, may be depreciated 
under methods proper in the past; or it may be depreciated 
under any of the following methods, provided (1) that the 
asset is tangible; (2) that it has an estimated useful life of 
three years or more; and, (3) that the original use of the 
asset commenced with the taxpayer and commenced after 
December 31, 1953.	
 	I	

f an asset is constructed, reconstructed, or erected by the 
taxpayer so that much of the basis of the asset is computed 
in accordance with 47:65(F)(2), and is attributable to 
construction, reconstruction, or erection after December 31, 
1953, the asset may be depreciated under any of the following 
methods, provided that the asset is tangible and has an estimated 
useful life of three years or more:
(1)
 	
D	
 eclining balance method — This method may be used 
with a rate not in excess of twice the applicable straight-
line rate.
(2)
 	
S	
 um of the years-digit method — Under this method, 
annual allowances for depreciation are computed by 
applying changing fractions to the taxpayer’s cost or 
other basis of property (reduced by estimated salvage 
value). The deduction for each year is computed by 
multiplying the cost or other basis of the asset (reduced 
by estimated salvage value) by the number of years of 
useful life remaining (including the year for which the 
deduction is computed) and dividing the product by 
the sum of all the digits corresponding to the years of 
the estimated useful life of the assets. 
(3)
 	
O	
 ther  methods  — A taxpayer may use any consistent 
method that does not result in accumulated allowances 
at the end of the year greater than the total of the ac-
cumulated allowances that would have resulted from 
the use of the declining method. This limitation applies 
only during the first two-thirds of the useful life of the 
property.	
 	I	

f a deduction is claimed for depreciation, Schedule G must 
be completed. When obsolescence is included, state separately 
the amount claimed and the basis upon which it is computed.

Land values or costs must not be included in this schedule, and 
where land and buildings were purchased for a lump sum, the 
cost of the building subject to depreciation must be established. 
The total amount of depreciation allowed on each property in 
prior years must be shown, and if the cost of any asset has been 
fully recovered through previous depreciation allowances, the 
cost of such assets must not be included in the cost shown in 
the schedule of depreciable assets. (See R .S. 47:65 and R .S. 
47:157.)
Line 22
 
Am
 ortization  — Print the amount of deduction with respect 
to the amortization of the adjusted basis of any emergency 
facility constructed or erected in taxable years beginning after 
December 31, 1955 (R .S. 47:65 (I)), with respect to which the 
Government has issued a certificate of necessity. A statement 
of the pertinent facts should be filed with the return. No 
amortization is permitted with respect to the adjusted basis 
of a grain storage facility or certain expenditures relating 
to research and experiment and trademark and trade name 
expenditures.
Line 23
 D

epletion of Mines, Oil and Gas Wells, Timber, etc. — 
Print the amount of depletion of mines, oil or gas wells, 
timber, etc. If complete valuation data has been filed in 
previous years, file with the return the information neces-
sary to bring the depletion schedule up-to-date, setting 
forth in full a statement of all the transactions bearing on 
the deductions from or additions to the value of physical 
assets during the taxable year, with an explanation of how 
the depletion deduction for the taxable year has been de -
termined.
Line 24
 
O
 ther Deductions Authorized by Law — Print the amount 
of other authorized deductions for which no space is provided 
elsewhere on Page 1 of the return, exclusive of items requiring 
separate computation and required to be reported on Schedule 
J. Do not deduct losses incurred in transactions that were 
neither connected with the trade or business nor entered into 
for profit. No deduction is allowed for any expense incurred 
to produce income not subject to Louisiana Income Tax. If an 
expense is incurred in part for the production of taxable income 
and in part for the production of tax exempt income, then only 
the portion of the expense that can reasonably be attributed 
to the production of taxable income is deductible.	
 	A p

artnership receiving any exempt income, other than 
interest, or holding any property or engaging in any activ -
ity the income from which is exempt shall submit with its 
return as a part thereof an itemized statement showing 
(1) the amount of each class of exempt income; and, (2) 
the amount of expense items allocated to each such class 
(the amount allocated by apportionment being shown 
separately).

Partners’  Allocations  — This schedule should show complete 
information with respect to all the persons who were members of the 
partnership, syndicate, group, etc., during any portion of the taxable year. 
Although the partnership is not subject to income tax, the members 
thereof are liable for income tax in their separate capacities and are 
taxable upon their distributive shares of the income of the partnership, 
whether distributed or not, and each is required to include his share in 
his return. However, a partner may not claim on his separate return a 
distributive share of loss from a partnership to the extent any such loss 
exceeds the basis of his interest in the partnership. The excess of such 
loss may be claimed for later years to the extent that the basis for the 
partner’s interest is increased above zero. Each partner should be advised 
by the partnership of his share of the income, deductions, and credits as 
shown on Schedule J. Individuals should use the information reported 
on the federal partnership return instead of the amounts shown in 
the partners’ allocation schedule. Corporations should refer to R . S. 
47:287.93(A)(5).
Federal Employer Identification Number — Please supply the employer 
identification number assigned to the partnership by the Internal 
Revenue Service. Print this number in the space provided on Form 
IT-565, page 1.
Federal Net Income  — Print the amount of the partnership’s Federal 
net income reported to the Internal Revenue Service on Form IT-565, 
page 1. This information is required by R .S. 47:103(B).
R .S. 47:103(C) also requires that every taxpayer whose Federal Income 
Tax Return is adjusted must furnish a statement disclosing the nature and 
amounts of such adjustments within 60 days after the Federal adjustments 
have been made and are accepted by the taxpayer.	
Signatures
The return must be signed by any one of the partners or members. 
If receivers, trustees in bankruptcy, or assignees are in control of the 
property or business of the organization, such receivers, trustees, or 
assignees shall execute the return.
Any person(s), firm, or corporation who prepares a taxpayer’s return must 
also sign. If a return is prepared by a firm or corporation, the return must 
be signed in the name of the firm or corporation. This verification is not 
required where the return is prepared by a regular, full-time employee 
of the taxpayer.

Requirements for filing – This form is to be attached to and filed with 
the Partnership Return (Form IT-565) if any partner who shares in the 
profits or income of the partnership is not a resident of Louisiana and 
a portion of the income is from business or property located outside 
Louisiana. (See General Instructions below.) Please do not write in this space.
Under the provisions of the Louisiana Income Tax Law, nonresident individuals 
are taxed on only the portion of their net income that is derived from property 
located, business transacted, or services rendered in Louisiana. Therefore, 
in the case of a partnership having nonresident partners and having income 
from sources both within and without the State of Louisiana, it is necessary 
that the net income from business, property, or services in Louisiana of the 
partnership be computed so that nonresident individuals participating therein 
may report the proper amount on his individual return (Form IT-540B).
In order to determine the amount of income earned in Louisiana, it is nec-
essary to separate all items of income into two general classes, namely; 
(1) those items that can be allocated directly to the State in which they are 
earned, such as Items 4(a), (b), and (c) in Section A and (2) those items of 
income that arise from business partly without the State. Louisiana’s share  of the first class of items can be determined by direct allocation and entered 
as Items 7(a), (b), and (c) in Section A of this form. But, in the case of net 
income from business partly within and partly without the State, a percent of 
the net income must be apportioned to Louisiana (Item 6 in Section A), on 
the basis of an apportionment percent computed in Section D. However, if 
the Louisiana portion is entirely separable from the remainder, and the use 
of the apportionment method would produce a manifestly unfair result, a 
separate accounting may be made for Louisiana business and the total net 
income therefrom entered as Item 8 in lieu of the apportionment described 
in the previous sentence, if permission to use that method is secured from 
the Secretary. For more precise information concerning the methods of al-
location and apportionment, see Louisiana Revised Statutes 47:241 through 
47:245.	
General Instructions	
Enter in this schedule the name of each nonresident member and his distributive share in the portion of the net income of the partnership allocated to the 
State of Louisiana (Item 8). Each partner's distributive share is deemed to apply ratably to taxable and nontaxable income, and to income from sources 
within, as well as from sources without the State.

Section C. Computation of apportionment percent	 	 	(Instructions)
The Louisiana Income Tax Law creates a presumption that the apportionment 
method of reporting must be used in the determination of the net income 
where such net income is apportionable. It is mandatory that the apportion-
ment method be used unless it can be clearly shown that the use of the 
apportionment method produces a manifestly unfair result, and permission 
to use the separate accounting method is granted by the Secretary. The pro-
portion of such income to be attributed to sources within this State should be 
determined by means of an apportionment percent based on the factors set 
forth below. The percent computed in that schedule is the arithmetic average 
of the factors applicable to your operations, which factors depend on your 
principal kind of business.
The “Louisiana Factors” are as follows:
1.
 The Sales and Char	

ges for Services Factor. The Louisiana sales factor 
shall include all sales made in the regular course of business where the 
goods, merchandise, or property is received in this State by the purchaser. 
In the case of delivery by common carrier or by other means of trans-
portation, including transportation by the purchaser, the place where the 
goods are ultimately received after all transportation is completed shall be 
considered as the place at which the goods are received by the purchaser. 
The Louisiana factor shall also include all charges for services performed 
in Louisiana. 2 .
 	The Salar	 ies and Wages Factor. The Louisiana wage factor shall include 
the total salaries, wages, and other personal service compensation paid 
during the taxable year for services rendered in Louisiana in connection 
with the production of apportionable net income. 
3 .
 	
The P	
 roperty Factor. The Louisiana factor shall be the average of the 
value of the taxpayer’s real property and tangible personal property used 
in the production of apportionable income within this State:
a.	
 at the beginning of the t	

axable year, and
b.	
 at the end of the t	

axable year.
4 .
 	
The Loan F	
 actor. In the case of a loan business, the Louisiana factor 
shall be the amount of loans made in this State during the period for which 
the return is filed.
5 .  Additional Sales Ratio. The apportionment percent of taxpayers whose  net apportionable income is derived primarily from the business of manu-
facturing or merchandising (manufacturing , producing, or sale of tangible 
personal property) is the arithmetical average of four factors which are 
Factors 1, 2, and 3 above with Factor 1 being counted twice.  This provision 
does not apply to certain taxpayers engaged in the production or sale of 
unrefined oil and gas, or certain taxpayers who are subject to tobacco tax.	
For further information relative to these apportionment factors, see R.S. 47:245.	
Section D. Apportionment factors to be used in determining income derived from sources partly within Louisiana
Not all of the following factors should be used. Your principal kind of business determines which factors apply. For air transportation, use factors (1) and (3); 
for pipeline transportation, use factors (1), (2), and (3); for other transportation, use factors (1) and (3); for service enterprises in which the use of property 
is not a material income-producing factor, use factors (1) and (2), otherwise, use factors (1), (2), and (3); for loan businesses, use factors (2) and (4); for 
merchandising, and manufacturing, use factors (1), (2), (3) and (5); and for other businesses use factors (1), (2), and (3).
