Yeah, the narrator is just reading the form. On this channel, we only read stuff. We take IRS forms, we do absolutely NO research, there's no value added. We just read tax forms. That's all we do. All day.

Hi. I'm not a tax preparer, but I want and can file my 1120S by myself. How can I do it online without PTIN? E-file only for large companies and tax prep.
HELP! I incorporated my business in June of last year but shortly after I fell on hard times, I was not able to do any work under my LLC - filed as S-corp - I ended up selling my equipment and I have no idea how to file my taxes. I have forms 1120s, K-1 and my state 100s filing form. I don't know what to do here
Get in touch with a tax accountant - either a CPA or an Enrolled Agent. It's a lot better and cheaper that way. But basically, all you have to do is file your 1120-S and put zeros throughout most sections, but recognize the profit or loss you had when you sold the equipment. Make sure you file 1120-S; otherwise, you'd have penalties. Then you need to report K-1 information on your personal 1040 as well as state returns. Honestly, again your situation requires professional guidance. Hire an EA or a CPA. We could sit here and tell you what to do theoretically - and that's NOT A LOT you have to do - but this might sound unclear to you if you have no knack for filing business and personal taxes.
@@SwittyKiwi I have reached out to a cpa a couple times with no call back 😣 so for example would I write “-$2,000” next to the boxes that specify ‘loss’ 🤷🏻♂️
@@rhodoliteproductions8344 It's difficult for us to tell you where to put your losses without seeing your return. So we cannot say "put -2k next to a box that specifies loss." The wisest thing to do is to get a tax professional to do your taxes. Don't treat this lightly - because if you file inaccurate taxes, the fines the IRS will slap on you are way, way, way more than the $100-$200 you're trying to save by not giving the work to a professional. If one CPA doesn't return your calls, there are gazillions of other CPAs waiting for your business. And it doesn't even have to be a CPA. You can hire an experienced, non-credentialed tax professional to do the work.
No, it's not. This is about taxes and license fees you pay as a business owner. The fees you pay to a tax preparer are called *TAX PREPARATION FEES*, and these could be lumped into "professional fees."
OK, So i am kind of confused as to how exactly to report my income. i have an S-Corp and i am the only person involved with it. the last few years i have been putting the total income from my business and then claiming my income with K-1 without adding a number to line 7 or 8. so basically x amount on 1c, 3, 6 and 21. same number. I dont make $500k or more so i didn't think there was a need for 1125E. I submit a K-1 with my 1120 S and all the income goes to me. no one else has ever been associated with the business and I am always the primary. Am i doing it right or do i need to put my income as "Compensation of officers" or "income" or is that just redundant when including a K-1? this whole thing stresses me out because ever since i inherited a lot of the money the IRS finds ways to penalize me every year. lol and I still get harassing letters from the IRS from tax year 2018 even though the issue is closed and i have a signed resolution from a Judge so i wanna make sure i am doing it right. No local people seem to understand business taxes or wanna help. I appreciate it. This particular video didnt help because it didnt distinguish between reporting income as opposed to compensation of officers... :)
Put it on Line 18 (Other current liabilities) or Line 21 (Other Liabilities), depending on the maturity of the business of credit (i.e. how soon you'd need to pay off the full balance). If the line's maturity is less than one year, put it on Line 18; otherwise, include it on Line 21. Either way, don't forget to attach a statement.
@@SwittyKiwi Great video! I have the same question, from the perspective of starting my own business. I need to work on building my tax knowledge as all 15 years of my accounting experience is on the financial reporting side. I’m not looking for a quick path, but the best training source to prepare me.
@@peterjones339 Understood. You know that preparing corporate taxes - unlike individual taxes - is logically more varied and complex. In our view - and most of our team members are practicing CPAs - the best course for you will be to 1) seek the CPA certification 2) seek the Enrolled Agent certification 3) take an advanced corporate taxation program at a university near you (or even online). Any other training course you might take from a third party is a "money sucker". You'll be wasting your time and money. So that's your path to success. Your financial accounting background will help you, as US GAAP knowledge is instrumental in tax matters - especially when it comes to deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as IFRS accounting, among other things. But we also need to build a strong foundation in tax accounting and reporting, and you can only get that knowledge through training, credentialing and practicing. As you know, there are various types of tax return preparers, including certified public accountants, enrolled agents, attorneys, and many others who don't have a professional credential. Your coporate clients will expect you, their preparer, to be skilled in all areas of tax preparation and to accurately file their income tax returns.
@@SwittyKiwi Thank you for the quick reply. Very helpful! I do have my CPA license, but have been in corporate accounting on the financial reporting side of things for ~15 years. I will look into the EA certification to bring me up to speed. Are there preferred prep materials for the EA exams and certification? Thank you for making it clear the 3rd party options are not worth the $$. I had a feeling that might be the case. I sincerely appreciate your help!
@@peterjones339 If you already have a CPA license, then you have the basics needed, even if you've been doing more GAAP work. Then focus on the EA license.

Internet sales end of year assets is inventory only; my question is on the Bal Sheet I'm using Inventory and Retained Earnings considering I feel that's my only reasonable option; is that correct?
Not correct. What happens to cash and intangible assets (if applicable) on the ASSETS side? Especially cash. You must have cash available on hand on your balance sheet...
@@SwittyKiwi Ordinary income flows through to the 1040 on an S Corp so the only current or tangible assets is inventory; there are no intangible assets. The method of accounting I use is cash not accrual but my question is how to balance the equation with inventory as the only asset?
@@craig17640 "Ordinary income flows through to the 1040 on an S corp..." This sentence is not always true, but it'll be too long and complex to explain here - and that's not even your question. Now to answer your question: going back to the basic accounting equation of Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity, in your case you can only balance the equation with Retained Earnings (assuming you haven't used debt [credit card or loan] to buy that inventory in the first place. So, Retained Earnings it is.
Thank you for your videos! I was wondering if you have one for Schedule L specifically. Do I list equipment as an asset somewhere on the form? Thank you again!
We don't have one specifically for Schedule L (yet). Maybe we'll do it in the future. To answer your question: You list Equipment on Line 9a. Buildings and other depreciable assets - and remember to subtract the accumulated depreciation on the equipment on Line 9b, That depreciation expense must also be on Form 1065 Line 16a (and also on Form 4562, depending on the asset.)
@@Godsolovedtheworld539 If you claimed it last year as office expense, then that's it. It's a one-time operating expense that went into last year's P&L. You can no longer claim it as a depreciable asset.
Put it on Line 18 (Other current liabilities) or Line 21 (Other Liabilities), depending on the maturity of the business of credit (i.e. how soon you'd need to pay off the full balance). If the line's maturity is less than one year, put it on Line 18; otherwise, include it on Line 21. Either way, don't forget to attach a statement.

I’m confused on number 12 (taxes and licenses)
is this the cost of having my taxes done by a professional?

No, it's not. This is about taxes and license fees you pay as a business owner. The fees you pay to a tax preparer are called *TAX PREPARATION FEES*, and these could be lumped into "professional fees."
Looking deeper, it’s 6.2% of whatever the salary I pay myself, correct?
