Federal Fact Sheets

Form 1040 Series - Individual Tax Returns

Drake’s 1040 Series package includes more than 300 forms, schedules and worksheets. You can prepare Form 1040EZ, 1040A, or 1040.

Includes all states that levy a personal income tax.
E-filing is included, and you can transmit federal and related states together or separately, if necessary and allowed by the state.

Form 1065 Series - Partnership Tax Returns

Our 1065 package includes more than 70 forms, schedules and worksheets, allowing you to prepare the informational Form 1065 return and the partners’ Schedule K-1s.

Items from Schedule K are automatically carried to the Schedule K-1 and partner basis worksheets, and prorated among partners based on their ownership percentage. If partnership interests are transferred during the tax year, you can indicate the appropriate sharing percentage. All auto-calculated amounts can be overridden to allow accounting for items allocated outside of ownership percentage. A comparison of Schedule K to Schedule K-1 allows for an easy reconciliation of the two schedules.

A client instruction letter (filing instructions) can be prepared for the partnership, for every partner, or for both. Drake also allows you to keep track of the adjusted basis for each partner.

All 48 states requiring a partnership return are included. Drake includes e-filing of the federal Form 1065, as well as for Michigan SBT and Massachusetts. More states will be added as they begin to accept
e-filed partnership returns.

Form 1120S Series - S Corporation Tax Returns

Our 1120S Series package includes more than 60 forms, schedules, and worksheets, allowing you to prepare 1120S returns and Schedule K-1s for shareholders. The Schedule K-1s are easily exported to the shareholder's 1040 return, eliminating double data entry.

This package automatically carries items from Schedule K to the Schedule K-1s and prorates among shareholders based on the number of shares owned. If shares are transferred during the tax year, Drake can calculate the correct percentage based on the days held by each shareholder. For any items that should not be prorated based on shares, you can override the distribution for each Schedule K-1.

It is easy to prepare a client instruction letter (filing instructions) for the corporation, for every shareholder, or for both. Additionally, Drake lets you keep track of the adjusted basis for each shareholder.

The software includes all states that require a return for an S corporation. Massachusetts and Michigan SBT can now be e-filed.
