Course Description

S corporations remain a popular business structure in the US, primarily due to rules that permit them to avoid the double taxation that is a feature of C corporations. Instead of being taxed as a corporation, taxation of S corporations is generally directly passed through to the personal income tax returns of the shareholders.

When tax preparers are familiar with Form 1120-S, U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation, they become a valuable resource for clients who seek to be compliant with federal tax law.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

  • Explain what is an S Corporation and how it differs from other business structures.

  • Prepare Form 1120-S in compliance with IRS rules.

  • Identify other tax topics and forms that are closely tied to Form 1120-S. 

 

This course is also available as part of a bundle called “Taking Care of Business.” You can save money by purchasing the bundle.
