Client has an S Corporation that operates multiple businesses. Can he file one 1120-S for all DBAs formed under the same S corporation? And if yes, how to report earned income and expenses from each DBA on the same 1120-S as a single filing? Do we need to attach statements, specifying which income/expense belong to which DBA?

One 1120S. Do a "comsolidation" spreadsheet and enter the totals in the software.
The more I know the more I don’t know.

Form 1120-S, Page 3, Schedule K states that when a corporation has more than one trade or activity, IRS requires an attachment to the K-1. Will this be in the form of a spreadsheet or a pdf file attached to the return or a statement within the return...And is it used to report income and deduction from each trade separately?

I'd do astatement listing each activity and net income from each.
The more I know the more I don’t know.

Where do you see that requirement? I don't see it on 1120S page 3.

Bottom of page 23 (it's actually the K-1 instructions, not the 1120S page 3 instructions). It's tied to the passive activity reporting requirements, but in practice, I don't see how you can determine QBI at the activity level without this information being split out and reported.
Edit: Oops, meant to paste the text:
If items of income, loss, deduction, or
credit from more than one activity
(determined for purposes of the passive
activity loss and credit limitations) are
reported on Schedule K-1, the corporation
must provide information separately for
each activity to its shareholders.

And here it is on page 38 re:QBI:
To allow shareholders
to correctly figure their QBI deduction, the
S corporation must attach a statement to
its Schedules K-1, separately identifying
each trade or business and identifying any
specified service trade or business.

Great thanks rbynaker, sjrcpa! Is there anyway to list each trade expenses separately or just the net income goes on the statement?

Not automatically. You could create a statement.
