1120s salary for 10/15 filing
Total Views: 62
Client did not take wages from his 1120s business. I know I must take a reasonable salary, but how to accomplish this after the fact. How do I report the $10k we want to use as salary on his 1040? Withholding? Help...

When we have clients that take a dividend and no salary we reclass part of the dividend to officers salary, generate payroll reports, create a liability to pay the payroll taxes, and create a w-2.

First, their fiscal YE should be 12/31 and you would have time to fix. Second is there a profit, if not, I wouldn't fret. As a last resort, make a journal entry to record officers salary and offset with a liability account for payroll payable.

As stated before, if the person is a calendar year end then it should not be a problem. But if you do want to show salary, as Copper said, just debit officer's wages and create a liability called accrued wages.

There were no distributions at all which is my problem. I must create a salary and how to deal with creating a substitute W-2 and reporting on a 941?
