It may be important to realize that you have created general partnerships for federal income tax purposes, as such, and unless you elect out under one of the limited exceptions, what you're doing falls under the purview of Subchapter K of the Internal Revenue Code.The 1065 deadline is March 16th.If you have the economies of scale, it may make a lot of sense to onboard a professional at this point.
