Fillable Form IRS 1120

What is Form 1120?

Form 1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return, is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) form that permits U.S corporations to report their income, gains, deductions, losses, and credits. It also reports the corporations’ income tax liability.

Who must file Form 1120?

All domestic corporations must file an income tax return or Form 1120. Domestic corporations exempt under section 501 do not necessarily need to file an income tax form, unless imposed, or designated to file a special return. However, corporations in bankruptcy must also file a Form 1120.

The following business entities must file tax Form 1120:

• Limited Liability Companies (LLC). LLCs are only allowed to file Form 1120 if they have filed Form 8832 and elected to be an association taxable as a corporation. If an LLC is considered as partnership file Form 1065. Single-member LLC files their taxes through the owner's personal federal tax return.

• Farming corporations. Corporations that engage in farming shall file Form 1120 income or losses.

Note: Provide the income and deductions of the corporation according to the instructions for lines 1 through 10 and 12 through 29.

If a corporation holds an ownership interest in FASIT, they must report all items of deductions, losses, income, gain, and credits of the corporation’s income tax return. A breakdown of all items must be included on an attached statement.

• Businesses elected to be taxed as corporations. These entities are obliged to file Form 8832, Entity Classification Elections, and attach a copy of Form 8832 to Form 1120 in accordance with the year of election.

• Foreign-owned domestic disregarded entities. If a foreign individual or corporation solely owns a domestic disregarded entity (DE), then a domestic DE is treated as excluded from its foreign owner. Meanwhile, a DE is not obliged to file a U.S income tax return, but may be required to file Form 1120 with an attached Form 5472 including the due date and extensions of the return.

• Qualified opportunity fund. Notwithstanding that the corporation has no income or expenses to report, they must file Form 1120 and attach Form 8996, in order to be certified as a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF).

• Qualified opportunity investment. The corporation must file its return with Form 8997 if the corporation has a qualified investment in a QOF during the calendar year.

When do I file Form 1120?

1. Corporations must file their income tax return by the 15th day of the 4th month after the end of their tax year.
2. A new corporation must also file its income tax return by the 15th day of the 4th month after the short period ends.
3. Dissolved corporations must file by the 15th day of the 4th month after the date it has eradicated.
4. Corporations with a fiscal tax year that ends on June 30 must file by the 15th day of the 3rd month after the end of its tax year.
