No. You prepare an 1120S for the business and use the K-1 generated from the 1120S to prepare the 1040. Hopefully the business generated a W-2 for the wages that were paid out to the shareholder during the year.

So to expand on what the others have said:
- The corporation does not pay any income taxes.
- The corporation needs to pay the shareholder "Reasonable Compensation" and give the shareholder/employee a W-2, and the corporation will file/pay payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare, Unemployment, etc.).
- The shareholder/employee will enter the K-1 and W-2 on his 1040. Both are only subject to income tax, not Self Employment tax.
- If the corporation issued the shareholder/employee a 1099, or the shareholder/employee is otherwise reporting the income on Schedule C of the 1040, that is wrong. The corporation needs to issue a W-2 (and file/pay all of the associated payroll forms).

"...the 1040 form adding the 2 taxes."
That *is* incorrect.
(Sounds like PEBCAK to me)
