What is IRS 1120S?
IRS Form 1120S is the U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation. This form is specifically designed for S corporations to report income, deductions, gains, losses, and credits. It allows corporations to pass corporate income, losses, deductions, and credits through to their shareholders for federal tax purposes.
Who needs the form?
Any corporation electing to be taxed as an S corporation must file IRS Form 1120S. Eligibility for S corporation status requires meeting specific IRS criteria, including limits on the number of shareholders and types of stock issued. Generally, all S corporations with income, expenses, or losses during the tax year must complete and submit this form.
Components of the form
IRS Form 1120S consists of several components, including the main form and various schedules that support the income and deductions reported. Important schedules include Schedule K-1, which reports each shareholder’s share of income, deductions, and credits. Ensure that all relevant schedules accompany the form when filing.
What information do you need when you file the form?
When filing IRS Form 1120S, gather critical information such as gross receipts or sales, cost of goods sold, salaries and wages, and other deductions. It is important to compile records of all income and expenses, along with detailed documentation supporting any credits or deductions claimed. This information must be consistent with the accounting records maintained for the corporation.
What is the purpose of this form?
The purpose of IRS Form 1120S is to ensure that S corporations provide a complete tax reporting of their financial activities for the tax year. The form helps IRS track the income earned by these corporations, as well as the distributions made to shareholders, which are reported on their personal tax returns.
When am I exempt from filling out this form?
Exemptions for filing IRS Form 1120S apply to S corporations that did not conduct business during the tax year or had no income or expenses. However, even if inactive, S corporations must still file if they wish to maintain their status and avoid penalties for failure to file.
What are the penalties for not issuing the form?
Failing to file IRS Form 1120S by the due date may result in penalties imposed by the IRS. The penalty for late filing is typically $210 for each month the tax return is late, with a maximum penalty of 12 months. Additionally, if the corporation owes taxes and doesn’t file, interest accrues on any unpaid balance.
Is the form accompanied by other forms?
IRS Form 1120S should be accompanied by additional forms and schedules relevant to the S corporation's finances. Commonly required schedules include Schedule B (for other information) and Schedule K-1 (for each shareholder's income distribution). Review IRS guidelines for specific attachments that may apply based on the organization's financial activities.

Overall I love the app and all the features it offer! The benefits totally outweigh the cost. Amazing app!
What I like most about the feature is I can use it both for work to fill out pdf files and for my personal studies where I can write notes, comment, add highlights and more to the file.
What I least like about this is it can be a bit pricey to maintain especially if I were only a student. But good thing I am also using it for work so I can really maximize its use.

A very useful tool for PDFs
Very good experience. In my beginnings I had a little trouble but everything came very quickly. I mainly use it for my professional paperwork with the administrations when I need to edit some files and sometimes I use it to sign. Not only do we save paper but also if we don't have a printer or are on a mobile or the tablet one can use this application. It's great !
Multiple features, easy and practice of use, especially for the modification of documents.
One thing to take into account is that pdfFiller is not easy for one who doesn't know more about this kind of software. Slight bugs sometimes but otherwise nothing to report on the software.
