C corp filing as an S corp

JJKIMCPA925
Level 2

Hello,

I have a client who is registered as a C corp but elected to file as an S Corp. In this situation do we need to file an 1120 or an 1120s? If we need to file an 1120s, are there any nuances or differences that I should look out for?

Thank you!

C Corp pays taxes if profit.

S Corp passes thru net income/loss and some other things to the shareholder(s).

Unless the election was a/o 1/1/xx   - both 1120 & 1120-S will be needed in the year of the election.

(Cliff notes version of C v S - I suggest a few CPE classses....)
