Great video on filling out the 1120-S tax return. Just ensure you filed your 2553 to make the S election. Even a late election is allowed with proper approval. That is why it makes sense to start your business as a single-member LLC disregarded and decide if you should make the late 2553 election as the year goes on.
Thank you so much for this video, you explain the process in non-cpa terms.

Generally, there is an amount on the capital stock line equal to whatever was stated in your company Articles of Incorporation. So, how many shares were issued and at what par value. Any cash paid for the shares in excess of par value are reported as additional paid in capital.
Looking back through my 1120S forms, it appears that my CPA included tips in the officer's wages, but tips were not included in gross receipts and sales... I'm getting ready to file amended returns for the past two years, and I intend to fill out the forms myself rather than go back to that CPA... So the question is, do I include tips in the gross receipts and sales, as well as compensation of officers and salaries and wages, or do I exclude them from everything? Anybody have any advice they can give me? Also, thank you so much for posting this video. The 1120S form has been the bane to my existence for years, now...

Hi Jason, are S Corp loans to shareholdersa red flag to the irs and also if they are not paid eithin the year, would that loan amount be taxed as capital gains?
Thank you very much for the video. The instructions are very clear. I have a question regarding the 'W-2 wages' line of the Statement A of the Schedule K-1. In the video, I saw that the wage in the schedule K was allocated to all the 3 shareholders according to their % in the corp. What if the S corp only paid W-2 salary to one shareholder? Would the amount in that shareholder's schedule K-1 equal to the entire amount in the schedule K while that of the other two shareholders be 0?
Jason, if the M-2 line 8 is the exact same number as line 2 and line 6, then when the line 2 income is passed through to a single shareholder via K-1, how does line 8 get reduced back to 0 for the next year? Wouldn't line 8 be the next year's line 1?

Yes! Some meals expenses were increased to 100% deductibility temporarily, but some still remain 50%, so carefully assess what types of expenses you have. Cash payments to equity shareholders are referred to as cash distributions for an S corporation shareholder. See line 16 code D on the K-1s

Good question! You do not want to net contributions and distributions. These amounts should be separately stated on the Schedule K-1 and the shareholder basis worksheets. On the IRS Form 7203 included with the shareholder's Form 1040, there are separate line items for the amounts of capital contributions (Line 2) and capital distributions (Line 6).

Okay so I have a couple simple questions. This is thee last year I’m doing my own 1120-s as next year will NOT be as simple as this year and last for me and I’d rather have an expert be able to take advantage of all breaks and options. So, this year I had 0 revenue and a small amount of expenses. I’m an owner/employee and chose not to pay myself. So this 1120s should be almost full of zeros and only a handful of places where I put deductions for expenses. I should only be entering numbers for deductions (19,20,21) and schedule k (1) and not entering anything for schedule L, M-1 or M-2?

The Schedule K-1s should always be completed for each shareholder, regardless of income or expense. Technically, the Schedule L isn’t required unless the company has assets and revenue over 250k, however, our recommendation is to always complete Schedule L, M1 and M2.

This is not the case. In order to do 1120S form, I have to download the 1120S form and manually input the information. Or, in order to do 1120S, I have to buy Business TurboTax which has the capability to do 1120S.

Unfortunately your situation might be more complicated. if you had an S corporation since 2016, arguable every year the entity has been in existence it should be filing a Form 1120-S, which means you have multiple years of late filed returns, even if all of the amounts are all zero. If you haven't been paying the annual state fees to keep it open, I would check with your state registrar first and see whether the entity was administratively dissolved, and if so, what year was it closed.

The S corporation can certainly deduct the home office expenses, however, the S corporation needs to setup an "Accountable Plan" in order to take the deduction. The accountable plan allows S corporation shareholders and employees to bill the corporation for their home office expenses, which can be deducted at the S corp level.

@@JasonDKnott Thank you. I've never heard of "Accountable Plan". I googled it. It seems simple and quite clear My issue is that the utilities and my property taxes are paid from my business checking account. Theoretically, I will not need to reimburse myself for the expense under Accountable Plan since my company has already paid for the expenses outright. My point is that between Schedule C and 1120S, 1120S will allow me the FULL expense write offs of these two expenses while Schedule C takes into account the % of the home office by the total sq footage. Interesting revelation? True or False? Naturally, I applied my property tax under the section Tax, License, and Fee Expenses section. Boom! Huge tax savings!! I am learning so much from your channel. This is my first year doing 1120S. TIA

@@marketbuy The scorp can only expense based off the same square footage you did on the schedule c. Meaning, the scorp can only expense the portion/percent of your home utilities and expenses that apply to the spaced used strictly for your business. That includes property taxes, mortgage interest, electricity, etc. irs outlines the guidelines for an acceptable plan, and it basically mimics what would be acceptable under the home office expense you were used to.

@@509McGavin Thank you. You are correct. I hope to see Jason do a video on a Accountable Plan
This video is for year 2021 and says the Meal deduction was reduced to 50%, but it should be 100% due to the temporary allowance per IRS Publication 463: "50% limit on meals. You can figure your meal expenses using either of the following methods. • Actual cost. • The standard meal allowance. Both of these methods are explained below. But, regardless of the method you use, you can generally, deduct only 50% of the unreimbursed cost of your meals. However, you can deduct 100% of your meal expenses if the meals are food and beverages provided by a restaurant, and paid or incurred after December 31, 2020, and before January 1, 2023"

Around minute 30, 12a, wouldn't the portion of his charitable contribution be $180?

John's ownership interest in the S corporation is 30%, so he is allocated only 30% of the $500 in total charitable contributions, which is $150.

Why did you distribute only $2000? Why left $23595 in the business account? How are shareholders supposed to pay taxes on that money if they don't have it in their own personal accounts?
