Will the IRS waive the late filing penalty for not filing partnership return on time. I was 5 months late.. $195 @ 5 months time 2 partners equals $2,000?
this was my intial return. I was not aware of penalty since the K-1 income went to my personal return (1040)

There are several ways in which a partnership late filing penalty can be waived, including first time abatement, reasonable cause, and Rev proc 84-35 which basically says if all the partners filed their personal returns correctly and on time then the penalty can be abated.

"if all the partners filed their personal returns correctly and on time" includes Partners' extension time, so in effect, extensions by all Partners can extend Partnership
