1120 Partnership Tax Return

The Form 1120-S is used by S corporations to report income, deductions, and other financial activities to the IRS. Unlike traditional corporations, S corporations pass income, losses, and credits directly to shareholders, who report these on their individual tax returns.

Key elements of Form 1120-S include the income statement, balance sheet (Schedule L), and reconciliation of income (Schedule M-1). Additionally, Schedule K provides a summary of the corporation’s financials, while Schedule K-1 details each shareholder’s share of income and deductions.

Accurate completion of Form 1120-S is vital for compliance and to ensure shareholders correctly report their earnings.

One of the main difference between the schedule C vs the 1120S and the 1065 is that the schedule C does not have a balance sheet where the 1120 S and the 1065 do. .
