New client, his previous accountant is MIA. He closed and needs to file his final return; closed all bank  accounts June 2019 and notified the state. I filed his 940, OH and Fed W-3, W-2 for him to meet the filing deadlines and he was the only employee.  Now asking me to file his final 1120S. I have numbers but no experience doing this type of return.  I figured the sales and salary but not the payroll and IRA. How do I report his payroll taxes and ira contributions?   Any other considerations are also appreciated.

You should be working with a complete set of books-income statement, balance sheet, trial balance.

Since this is a first 1120S for you and a final 1120S for the client, you should probably get help from a colleague who has experience with S Corporations.

But if the client had the Coronavirus and his doctor was MIA, would you begin treatment on him?  Stick to what you do well and leave the other stuff to someone who is experienced in those areas.

The main reason I took on this return is that the client has less than 10 transactions (payroll, taxes, legal fees paid, the close of his bank account) and one cash sale for all of 2019 so I thought it would be something I could do with a little guidance.  Yes, I am not an expert and I am trying to learn this process which is why I reached out to the support group.  If I was an expert, I wouldn't be on this forum.   I am sorry you think that I should just leave this to others.  That is not what I tell my accounting 101 students.  I try to explain the theory, process and I try to answer the questions they have.  That is how I teach them.  If you have a resource/Intuit training that helps with this it would be appreciated.
