What is the penalty for filing S-corp late in 2024?

Penalties for filing late S corporations that fail to file Form 1120S by the due date or by the extended due date face a $220 (for 2024) penalty for each month or part of a month the return is late. The penalty is multiplied by the number of shareholders.

Is Schedule M-2 required on form 1120S?

The schedule should reflect income/loss and perhaps distributions. Note that Schedule M-1 and M-2 are required only if the corporations gross receipts or its total assets at the end of the year are greater than $250,000.

Is there a difference between 1120 and 1120S?

IRS Forms 1120 and 1120-S are both used by corporations to file tax returns. The difference is that Form 1120 is used by C corporations (C corps), which are liable for corporate federal taxes, and Form 1120-S is used exclusively by S corps.

Do I have to complete Schedule L on 1120S?

If the corporations total receipts for the tax year AND total assets at the end of the tax year less than $250,000, Schedules L and M-1 are not required.
