Shareholder Compensation on Form 1120S

[lr]

S corporations that have less than $500,000 in total receipts.  When I record on Form 1120S Smart Worksheet Line B for the shareholder compensation not on Form 1125-E, ProSeries does not show a deduction the shareholder compensation.  Line 21 Ordinary Business Income does not reflect the shareholder/officer compensation.  For ProSeries to reflect compensation on the correct line, I must put the compensation on Line 7 of the 1120S that is for Form 1125-E and complete Form 1125-E when not required to do so.  Why?  Is this an upcoming software fix?

I was reviewing the Shareholder-Employee Compensation Smart Worksheet and line B does indicate to See Tax Help. Based on the help center line B will only impact the tentative business income limitation to determine the allowable Section 179 Depreciation Deduction. 

For the Compensation to show on line 7 you would just manually enter it on line 7 if the 1125-E is not required.
