Does a form 965 have to be prepared for 2018 due to a 2017 income inclusion?

My client had a section 965 inclusion amount which was reported on the 2017 tax return.  There is no inclusion amount for 2018.  Elections were made under section 965(h)(1) to pay in 8 installments and section 965(i)(1) to defer liability of S corporation shareholder.

I am aware of the form 965-A requirements to report payments and outstanding liability with the 2018 tax return.

There was a section 965 inclusion amount in 2017 but none in 2018. Should a form 965 and related schedules be included with the 2018 tax return?

Yes, unless your client qualifies for organization exemption.  Details of this filing requirement are explained in the filing instructions and Q&A.
