Inventory valuation method must be reported on the initial return

[Strongsilence-CPA]

The inventory valuation method must be reported on the initial corporation tax return. It is reported on F1125-A. But this form won't print, and I think it is because the corporation had no inventory.   How do I force it?

solved. Box to force at the bottom of the form.

So, if they have no inventory, why do you need to report an inventory valuation method?

Hi

They will have inventory starting this year.

2021 was the initial return and they had no inventory. I read in AICPA guidance that the method must be chosen on the initial return

OK. I might interpret that to mean the first (initial) return where there is inventory; but no harm doing what you're doing.
