General Instructions
Purpose of Form
Use Schedule G (Form 1120) to provide
information applicable to certain entities,
individuals, and estates that own, directly,
20% or more, or own, directly or indirectly,
50% or more of the total voting power of all
classes of the corporation's stock entitled
to vote.
Who Must File
Every corporation that answers "Yes" to
Form 1120, Schedule K, Questions 4a or
4b, must file Schedule G to provide the
additional information requested for certain
entities, individuals, and estates owning the
corporation's voting stock.
Constructive Ownership of
the Corporation
For purposes of Schedule G (Form 1120),
the constructive ownership rules of section
267(c) (excluding section 267(c)(3)) apply to
ownership of interests in corporate stock
and ownership of interests in the profit,
loss, or capital of a partnership. An interest
in the corporation owned directly or
indirectly by or for another entity
(corporation, partnership, estate, or trust) is
considered to be owned proportionately by
the owners (shareholders, partners, or
beneficiaries) of the owning entity. Also,
under section 267(c), an individual is
considered to own an interest owned
directly or indirectly by or for his or her
family. The family of an individual includes
only that individual's spouse, brothers,
sisters, ancestors, and lineal descendants.
An interest will be attributed from an
individual under the family attribution rules
only if the person to whom the interest is
attributed owns a direct or an indirect
interest in the corporation under section
267(c)(1) or (5). However, for purposes of
these instructions, an individual will not be
considered to own, under section 267(c)(2),
an interest in the corporation owned,
directly or indirectly, by a family member
unless the individual also owns an interest
in the corporation either directly or
indirectly through a corporation,
partnership or trust.
Example 1. Corporation A owns,
directly, a 50% interest in the profit, loss,
or capital of Partnership B. Corporation A
also owns, directly, a 15% interest in the
profit, loss, or capital of Partnership C and
owns, directly, 15% of the voting stock of
Corporation D. Partnership B owns,
directly, a 70% interest in the profit, loss,
or capital of Partnership C and owns,
directly, 70% of the voting stock of
Corporation D. Corporation A owns,
indirectly, through Partnership B, a 35%
interest (50% of 70%) in the profit, loss, or
capital of Partnership C and owns,
indirectly, 35% of the voting stock of
Corporation D. Corporation A owns,
directly or indirectly, a 50% interest in the
profit, loss, or capital of Partnership C
(15% directly and 35% indirectly), and
owns, directly or indirectly, 50% of the
voting stock of Corporation D (15% directly
and 35% indirectly).
Corporation D reports in Part I that its
voting stock is owned, directly or indirectly,
50% by Corporation A and is owned,
directly, 70% by Partnership B.
Example 2. A owns, directly, 50% of the
voting stock of Corporation X. B, the
daughter of A, does not own, directly, any
interest in Corporation X and does not
own, indirectly, any interest in Corporation
X through any entity (corporation,
partnership, trust, or estate). Therefore, the
family attribution rules do not apply and,
for the purposes of Part II, the 50% interest
of A in Corporation X is not attributed to B.
Example 3. A owns, directly, 50% of the
voting stock of Corporation X. B, the
daughter of A, does not own, directly, any
interest in X but does own, indirectly, 10%
of the voting stock of Corporation X
through Trust T of which she is the sole
beneficiary. No other family member of A or
B owns, directly, any interest in
Corporation X nor does any own, indirectly,
any interest in Corporation X through any
entity. Neither A nor B owns any other
interest in Corporation X through any entity.
For the purposes of Part II, the 50%
interest of A in the voting stock of
Corporation X is attributed to B and the
10% interest of B in the voting stock of
Corporation X is attributed to A. A owns,
directly or indirectly, 60% of the voting
stock of Corporation X, 50% directly and
10% indirectly through B. B owns, directly
or indirectly, 60% of the voting stock of
Corporation X (50% indirectly through A
and 10% indirectly through Trust T).

What's New
Small business taxpayers. For tax years
beginning after December 31, 2017, the
following apply.
• A small business taxpayer (defined
below), may use a method of accounting for
inventories that either: (1) treats inventories
as nonincidental materials and supplies, or
(2) conforms to the taxpayer's financial
accounting treatment of inventories.
• A small business taxpayer is not required
to capitalize costs under section 263A.
General Instructions
Purpose of Form
Use Form 1125-A to calculate and deduct
cost of goods sold for certain entities.
Who Must File
Filers of Form 1120, 1120-C, 1120-F,
1120S, or 1065, must complete and attach
Form 1125-A if the applicable entity reports
a deduction for cost of goods sold.
Inventories
Generally, inventories are required at the
beginning and end of each tax year if the
production, purchase, or sale of
merchandise is an income-producing
factor. See Regulations section 1.471-1. If
inventories are required, you generally
must use an accrual method of accounting
for sales and purchases of inventory items.
Exception for certain taxpayers. A small
business taxpayer (defined below), can
adopt or change its accounting method to
account for inventories in the same manner
as material and supplies that are non-
incidental, or conform to its treatment of
inventories in an applicable financial
statement (as defined in section 451(b)(3)),
or if it does not have an applicable financial
statement, the method of accounting used
in its books and records prepared in
accordance with its accounting
procedures. See section 471(c)(3).
A small business taxpayer claiming
exemption from the requirement to keep
inventories is changing its method of
accounting for purposes of section 481.
For additional guidance on this method of
accounting, see Pub. 538, Accounting
Periods and Methods. For guidance on
changing to this method of accounting, see
Form 3115 and the Instructions for Form
3115.
Small business taxpayer. A small
business taxpayer is a taxpayer that (a) has
average annual gross receipts of $25
million or less (indexed for inflation) for the
3 prior tax years, and (b) is not a tax shelter
(as defined in section 448(d)(3)). See Pub.
538.
Uniform capitalization rules. The uniform
capitalization rules of section 263A
generally require you to capitalize, or
include in inventory, certain costs incurred
in connection with the following.
• The production of real property and
tangible personal property held in inventory
or held for sale in the ordinary course of
business.
• Real property or personal property
(tangible and intangible) acquired for resale.
• The production of real property and
tangible personal property for use in its
trade or business or in an activity engaged
in for profit.
A small business taxpayer (defined
above) is not required to capitalize costs
under section 263A. See section 263A(i).
See the discussion on section 263A
uniform capitalization rules in the
instructions for your tax return before
completing Form 1125-A. Also see
Regulations sections 1.263A-1 through
1.263A-3. See Regulations section
1.263A-4 for rules for property produced in
a farming business.

Cat. No. 55988R
Form 1125-A (Rev. 11-2018) Form 1125-A (Rev. 11-2018)
Specific Instructions
Line 1. Inventory at Beginning of
Year
If you are changing your method of
accounting for the current tax year, you
must refigure last year's closing inventory
using the new method of accounting. Enter
the result on line 1. If there is a difference
between last year's closing inventory and
the refigured amount, attach an
explanation and take it into account when
figuring any section 481(a) adjustment.
Line 2. Purchases
Reduce purchases by items withdrawn for
personal use. For a partnership, the cost of
these items should be shown on Schedule
K and Schedule K-1 as distributions to
partners.
Line 4. Additional Section 263A
Costs
If you elected a simplified method of
accounting, enter on line 4 the balance of
section 263A costs paid or incurred during
the tax year not includible on lines 2, 3, and
5.
If you elected the simplified production
method, additional section 263A costs are
generally those costs, other than interest,
that were not capitalized under your
method of accounting immediately prior to
the effective date of section 263A, but are
now required to be capitalized under
section 263A. For details, see Regulations
section 1.263A-2(b).
If you elected the simplified resale
method, additional section 263A costs are
generally those costs incurred with respect
to the following categories.
• Off-site storage or warehousing.
• Purchasing.
Handling, such as processing,
assembling, repackaging, and transporting.
• General and administrative costs (mixed
service costs).
Line 5. Other Costs
Enter on line 5 any costs paid or incurred
during the tax year not entered on lines 2
through 4. Attach a statement listing details
of the costs.
Special Rules for Cooperatives
Cooperatives are allowed to deduct certain
per-unit retain allocations. Include these
costs on line 5. Attach a statement listing
details of per-unit retain allocations paid in:
• Qualified per-unit retain certificates,
• Money or other property (except
nonqualified per-unit certificates), and
•
Nonqualified per-unit retain certificates
redeemed this year.
Per-unit retain allocations. A cooperative
is allowed to deduct from its taxable
income amounts paid during the payment
period for the tax year as per-unit retain
allocations to the extent paid in money,
qualified per-unit retain certificates, or
other property with respect to marketing
occurring during the tax year. A per-unit
retain allocation is any allocation from a
cooperative to a patron for products
marketed for him without reference to the
cooperative net earnings. A qualified per-
unit retain certificate is any per-unit retain
certificate that the distributee has agreed
to take into account at its stated dollar
amount.
Nonqualified per-unit retain certificates
redeemed this year. Include the amount
paid in money or other property (except
amounts already included as per-unit retain
certificates) to patrons to redeem
nonqualified per-unit retain certificates. No
deduction is allowed at the time of
issuance for a nonqualified per-unit retain
certificate. However, the cooperative may
take a deduction in the year the certificate
is redeemed, subject to the stated dollar
amount of the certificate. See section 1383.
Also see the instructions for Form 1120-C,
line 30h, for a special rule for figuring the
cooperative's tax in the year of redemption
of a nonqualified per-unit retain certificate.
Line 7. Inventory at End of Year
See Regulations sections 1.263A-1 through
1.263A-3 for details on figuring the amount
of additional section 263A costs to be
included in ending inventory.
Line 8. Cost of Goods Sold
Enter the amount from line 8 on your tax
return as follows. Filers of Form 1120,
1120-C, 1120S, and 1065, enter cost of
goods sold on page 1, line 2. Filers of Form
1120-F, enter cost of goods sold on
Section II, line 2.
Lines 9a Through 9f. Inventory
Valuation Methods
Inventories can be valued at:
•
Cost,
• Cost or market value (whichever is lower),
or
•
Any other method approved by the IRS
that conforms to the requirements of the
applicable regulations cited below.
Page 2
Filers that use erroneous valuation
methods must change to a method
permitted for federal income tax purposes.
Use Form 3115 to make this change. See
the Instructions for Form 3115. Also see
Pub. 538.
Line 9a. Method of valuing closing
inventory. On line 9a, check the method(s)
used for valuing inventories. Under lower of
cost or market, the term "market" (for
normal goods) means the current bid price
prevailing on the inventory valuation date
for the particular merchandise in the
volume usually purchased by the filer. For a
manufacturer, market applies to the basic
elements of cost-raw materials, labor, and
burden. If section 263A applies, the basic
elements of cost must reflect the current
bid price of all direct costs and all indirect
costs properly allocable to goods on hand
at the inventory date.
Inventory may be valued below cost
when the merchandise is unsalable at
normal prices or unusable in the normal
way because the goods are subnormal due
to damage, imperfections, shopwear,
change of style, odd or broken lots, or
other similar causes, including second-
hand goods taken in exchange. The goods
may be valued at the bona fide selling
price, minus the direct cost of disposition
(but not less than scrap value). Bona fide
selling price means actual offering of
goods during a period ending not later than
30 days after inventory date.
Lines 9c and 9d. LIFO method. If this is
the first year the Last-in, First-out (LIFO)
inventory method was either adopted or
extended to inventory goods not previously
valued under the LIFO method provided in
section 472, attach Form 970, Application
To Use LIFO Inventory Method, or a
statement with the information required by
Form 970. Check the LIFO box on line 9c.
On line 9d, enter the amount of total
closing inventories computed under
section 472. Estimates are acceptable.
If
you changed or extended your
inventory method to LIFO and had to write
up the opening inventory to cost in the year
of election, report the effect of the write-up
as other income, on your applicable return,
proportionately over a 3-year period that
begins with the year of the LIFO election. Form 1125-A (Rev. 11-2018)
Note: Entities using the LIFO method that
make an S corporation election or transfer
LIFO inventory to an S corporation in a
nonrecognition transaction may be subject
to an additional tax attributable to the LIFO
recapture amount. See the instructions for
Form 1120, Schedule J, line 11.
Line 9e. If property is produced or
acquired for resale and the rules of section
263A apply to the corporation, cooperative,
partnership, or other applicable entity,
check the "Yes" box on line 9e.

Form 1120 (2023)/n Taxation II - Case #1 - Spring 2024
This tax case must be completed by the posted due date to receive points. You must read ALL of
these instructions!! Remember, all tax cases must be completed and submitted to receive
credit for this course. Even if you submit them late and receive no points, they must be
submitted, or you fail the course no matter what other grades you have per the Class Syllabus.
Head over to www.irs.gov and download and save and/or print the following
tax forms - all 2023 forms:
1 Form 1120
2 Form 1125-A
3 Form 1125-E
4 Form 1120 Schedule G
5 Form 4562
6 Form 4797
You should print this instruction document and read all of it very carefully - READ IT ALL FIRST
AND THEN GO BACK TO START FILLING FORM OUT. There is no reason you shouldn't get all
your points if you follow these instructions carefully and submit them on time! I would also
suggest you refer to Chapter 17 in your textbook, the lecture notes, particularly the section
about Schedule M-1, and review the answers from the Forage Assignment.
You'll find all the information on these documents you need to complete the required tax forms
listed above. You must read through the questions and forms and fill out all required parts of all
forms and pages.
On Form 1120, you'll find various lines that tell you to "attach a schedule". You are NOT
required to attach any schedules other than the forms listed above. You may just enter the
totals that I've provided in these instructions and not attach a schedule. Example, Page 1 of the
1120 asks for "Other Deductions", and I've provided you the "Other deductions" on the Income
Statement; however, you may have to add them up. Just plug that into the line on the 1120
labeled "Other Deductions" and don't worry about attaching supporting schedule. Be careful
though - you will have Book to Tax Differences on these, so you will put the resulting number
after tax adjustments.
Please take care and time to fill in the total lines as instructed on the forms AND read all of
these instructions and pages carefully. I try to anticipate and answer questions ahead, so you
need to take the time to be diligent and answer and fill in totals and fields as instructed.
1 Taxation II - Case #1 - Spring 2024
"A general principle for any and all tax forms: Never enter a number as negative unless it is
really a negative number. If you are entering an amount in a field that is a "subtract" field, it
must be positive, or the IRS subtracts a negative number, which really adds it! That would throw
your return out of balance, so always be sure to enter numbers as positive unless they are truly
negative amounts."
Another principle: Never write in a shaded box/line on a tax form. Shaded means "do not write
in this space!!". It might be confusing if you are typing numbers into PDF forms where the field is
highlighted for you to type into. You can tell if you are supposed to type into a field or not.
One more principle, always round amounts on these tax returns to whole dollars!!
The Case! Here we go!
I always recommend printing the forms, filling them in by hand, and then scanning them into
Blackboard because this is how you actually learn when doing it by hand. Follow along and see
how I would complete the 1120.
1: Review the Financial Statements Attached (Balance Sheet and Income Statement).
2: Review the information below.
Form 1120
Be sure to enter the other requested information at the top of Page 1 (name, address, EIN, all
the applicable boxes checked or filled in, B, C, D) (NOT an initial return or final return, do not
check). Do not forget to fill in
Box D Total Assets after you have completed the Balance Sheet (Schedule L) later
in the case.
Premium Corporation, incorporated December 21, 2012, is a CPA firm. It is located at 125 Main
Street, Portage, OH 44828. Its employer identification number is 75-1234562. The Corporation
uses the accrual method of accounting.
Head over to page 6 of the 1120 and Fill in Schedule L (Balance Sheet per Books) from the
Balance Sheet on the Financial Statements. Beginning of the Tax Year is 2022 and End of the Tax
Year is 2023.
Fill out Schedule M-2. You should have numbers on lines 1, 2, 4, 5a, 7, and 8. Line 1 should
match the beginning of the year number from line 25 of Schedule L above and Line 8 of the M-2
should match the end of the year on line 25 of Schedule L. This is like your Retained Earnings
Statement from Financial Accounting – remember what goes into it.

2 Taxation II - Case #1 - Spring 2024
Before we work on our Income Statement and fill out page of the 1120, we need to complete
some Book to Tax Differences like you did in the Forage Assignment and in class.
Schedule M-1
Head over to the Income Statement and put Book Income on Line 1 of Schedule M-1.
Then head over to the Book to Tax Difference Worksheet provided with the Income Statement
numbers.
Column A is the Book numbers from the Income Statement. Column B is the Book to Tax
Adjustments, and Column C is the Taxable Income items that will go on Page 1 of the 1120. For
example, Municipal Bond Interest is Not Taxable, so we have a favorable adjustment. In Column
A you have $5,000, in Column B you will have negative ($5,000), so Column C is 0. This would
make sense because we are not picking it up into income, so our Taxable Income decreased by
$5,000. Put this $5,000 on line 7 of the M-1 also.
You will need to apply tax laws and what you have learned to the following accounts:
Bad Debt Expense (For book, this is an estimate, but for tax it needs to be actual) Head
over to the Balance Sheet and look at the change in your Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts. What is the amount of the change? This is amount is an estimate and not
deductible for tax. Fill this number in on Column B and adjust your Taxable Income.
Depreciation Expense and Gain/Loss - you are given book depreciation, but you need to
calculate Tax Depreciation. Review the information you learned in Tax I.
○ Stop here and let's fill out Form 4797 and Form 4562 to calculate our Tax Gains
and Tax Depreciation.
Form 4797 - look at your Balance Sheet for 2022 and 2023 for the Fixed
Assets
What happened to the cost of the Furniture and Fixtures? Did it
go up or down, and by how much?
This is your cost.
• What happened to the accumulated depreciation for Furniture?
Did it go up or down, and by how much?
This is your
Accumulated Depreciation
• What is the Adjusted BOOK Basis in your Furniture sold? Cost
minus Accumulated Depreciation
•
Do we know the Proceeds for the Sale? How could we check? Go
to the Income Statement, do you see a Gain or loss on an asset
sold? What is your proceeds if your Formula is Proceeds minus
Basis Gain/Loss? Back into it!

•
12/15/2023.

Complete lines 30, 31, and 32.
• When following the instructions on those lines, you should have

Form 4562
•
•
Head over to your Balance Sheet and look at the Machinery and
Equipment line, what is the difference between 2022 and 2023?
This is your addition. On August 1st, 2023 it was placed in service
and is a Five-Year Asset. The company did NOT elect out of bonus
(additional first year depreciation), so you will need to calculate
the bonus using 2023 information and MACRS depreciation.
Bonus will go on line 14 and MACRS will be filled in on 19b. Basis
for Depreciation is your Cost minus Bonus. Recovery period 5
years, convention = HY, method = 200DB, depreciation deduction
is? See Exhibit 8.3 on page 8-33 of your textbook.
Fill out line 22. This is your Tax Depreciation number, which will
also go on line 20 of Form 1120, line 20.
Now that you have your depreciation deduction, you should be
able to figure out what your Book to Tax Difference is. Go to your
Book to Tax Worksheet and fill out the Book Depreciation and Tax
Depreciation to see if it is favorable or unfavorable. If unfavorable
it will go on line 5a and if favorable, line 8a of your M-1.
Meals and Entertainment
O Meals are 50% deductible and Entertainment is 0% deductible. The client tell you
the meals account is ONLY meals. Enter your disallowed portion on line 5c of the
M-1.
Officer's Life Insurance Expense – these premiums are for beneficial owners of the
company and the company is the beneficiary. Review your materials and see if it is
deductible. If not deductible, put under line 5c with a description.
Federal Income Tax Expense - This is nondeductible, put non-deductible portion on line
2 of the M-1.
Charitable Contributions - We're doing this adjustment last because you can only deduct
up to 10% of your Taxable Income before Charitable Contributions. Can you deduct all
4 Taxation II - Case #1 - Spring 2024
your Charitable Contributions? If so, no adjustment is needed. If not, you need to
reduce your book deduction and add it back for tax. The non-deductible portion goes on
line 5b of the M-1.
Using the Book to Tax Difference Worksheet, you should have $2,825,000 as Gross Profit
and $455,000 as Operating Income, and $477,000 as Taxable Income in Column C. This is
your taxable income before NOL & Special Deductions. Submit this worksheet with your
case.
If you do not have $477,000 on line 10 of your Schedule M-1, go back and review the above.
You should have numbers on line 1, 2, 5b, 5c, under 5c, 6, 7, 8a, 9, and 10.
Let's head back over to page 1 of the Form 1120 and start filling out lines 1 through line 28
based on Column C of your worksheet and should equal $477,000.
For line 2, you will need to complete 1125-A. Since we are a service company, everything on
box 9 will be blank. Fill out 1 through 8 based on your Income Statement. Don't forget about
the Name and EIN on all forms.
Jump to page 2 of the 1120. Premium Corporation owns 25% of another corporation's stock.
Look at your Income Statement for the amount of Dividend Income. Look in Chapter 17, figure
out what percentage your dividend's received deduction is. Complete Schedule C, totals carry
to page 1 of 1120, lines 4 and 29b and 29c subtotal. Watch for Line 9 subtotals on Schedule C!!
Be careful to carry subtotals and totals to correct lines of Sch C.
Once you've updated Page 1 of the 1120, you should have Line 30 filled out with the new
Taxable Income. To fill out line 31 of Page 1 (1120), we will head to page 3 (Schedule J). Line 1
of Schedule J is line 30 from page 1 x the corporate tax rate. You can find this in Chapter 17 or
your lecture notes. You should have this number 4 times on Part 1 of Schedule J and be sure to
follow the instructions on line 11 of Schedule J to carry it.
For Part II of Schedule J, go to your Income Statement and see how much in Payments you
made for Federal Taxes. This will go on line 14. From there you should have that same number
4 times on Part II and then follow the instructions on line 23 to carry it.
Calculate Line 35 or 36 based on your answer. If amount due, no penalties. If Overpayment, you
want all of it Credited to the next year.
Finally, we will fill out the informational parts of the 1120 and other forms required.
