Your tax return does not appear to be complicated. Sure you can give it a try. If it does not work, or to check if you have done it right, you can always go to your CPA.

Amounts on line 16 of the K1 would be A tax exempt interest incomeB other tax exempt incomeC nondeductible expensesD property distributionsE repayment of loans from shareholderslook at page 12 of these instructions to see what if any would be taxable from line 16http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1120ssk.pdfIncome from a S corporation flows through to the owners or shareholders of the corporation.This is the purpose of the K1 ,, it shows each shareholder what their profit or loss in the corporation was. You enter the information from the K1 on Schedule E of Form 1040 and that ends up on line 17 of the form 1040. Income from a S corp is taxed as ordinary income. You have not paid tax on this income until you do so on your personal tax return, the S corp does not pay taxif the S corp paid you during the year, The S corp would send either a 1099 or a W-2 to you and also to the IRS either way, you don’t pay tax on money you receive from the S corp until you file your personal tax return.The S corp might also be filing a 941 each quarter and a annual form 940Wages paid are deducted from the income the S Corp makes so you are not being taxed twice

AK, these expenses would not be deductible since they are not being currently used in a trade or business. However, keep a record of the dates of purchase and the amounts. Later, if you are in your own freelance business, the market value of these assets may be depreciated over a period of time, depending on the percent of business use.

In theory you could write the code and have it be good enough to hook into the IRS software for efiling. The layouts of the records to be sent in are published. *You* would have to be ready and able to update the software to incorporate any changes the IRS made. This is not easy as Congress can change the laws on 12/26.

that ain’t right, if Turbo Tim can then we should be able to as well!

They’d sell less software, because the calculation would be easy to program using spreadsheets.

If you do want professional software, I happen to like Accountware, so look into that. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for good software to do your own return, and a few friends, look at TaxCut. TaxCut will accept TurboTax files, and I think some others, so if you don’t like the software you used last year, you can use TaxCut and not have to worry- all of yur necessary information will transfer.

Thanks for posting. I wish there was some way for Yahoo to keep this on top for everyone to read, or to make people read it before they post to this section – would sure cut down on the postings!

If you have entered every thing into the software program correctly and on the right lines and answered all of the questions correctly the soft ware program should have it correct.If you are in doubt about this you could take all of your information and get some professional assistance to make sure that you get it correct because any error of this type that you make is going to cost you some extra amount of taxes when the IRS catches the mistake and you get the notice in the mail about the extra penalty and interest that you will owe because it was not done correctly for the tax year 2009.Hope that you find the above enclosed information useful and good luck to you.

You report it on Schedule B under Interest Income. And you DO report it unless it is less than $1.00.

PepsiLime June 30, 2011 at 12:15 pm

And you want to discuss what about this?

TruthB July 1, 2011 at 12:26 am

Sarah; use the paper form if software is not your thing. You may need a better software. No one is going to file your taxes for you so you might as well learn how it is done in your country. Good luck with your taxes.

1. office until you learn about all of it someone can answer all of your questions there2. theyre both for you, you pay taxes to federal and to state, since you don’t know this answer you really need to have them prepared first so you can learn about it before you try to do them yourself
