Can a C Corporation stock sale file two 1120 tax returns in one year? One 1120 return for previous owners for Jan - Aug period. One 1120 return for new owners for Sept - Dec period.

    You only file one tax return.  The shareholders might have changed but it is still the same corporation.

    So are there special forms to establish the split between the stockholders (Sellers and Buyers).  I have to determine who is responsible for what taxes based on the periods of Jan - Aug and Sept - Dec.

    You said it is a C corp and they sold the stock.  If that is accurate, there is no split and the corporation itself pays the tax owed for the full 12 months.
