Dear tax experts,

Would you be able to share with me the pricing for filing 1120-S return?

What documents are required to file the first 1120-S, please?  

My new client is the only member and owner in this S Corp and received 1099-NEC. 

Thank you in advance for any input!

    Have you never done an S Corp? Make sure you understand the scope. You already have a problem.

    1099-NEC should not typically be issued to an S Corp (except for medical services, as an example of one exception). Your taxpayer would fill in a W9 on behalf of the corporation as exempt.

    The S Corp is the entity that contracted with the customer. Not your taxpayer. The customer pays the corporation. Not your taxpayer. Your taxpayer is supposed to be on payroll and get Reasonable Compensation for services performed on behalf of the corporation.

    You have a shareholder-employee, in other words. S Corps don't have owners or members. There are specific limitations and rules for that shareholder-employee, as well.

    you might wish to retain the services of a cpa near you or one of the experts who post here.  

    S Corps are complicated and QBteach has already identified an issue.

    Good Luck!

    WOW! Thank you so much for both QBteach and Strongsilence input!

    Yes, I agree this is too complicated. I thought I would like to learn from this new S Corp client by filing 1120 S return. This is her new company that started in Sep 2024. She didn't have any W9, but 1099 NEC. 

    Are there any resource I can learn from? Or maybe it's not worthy to take this one at this time?
