Go to the IRS Forms and Publications Web site to download the Form 1120 (Schedule M-1).

Prepare the Schedule M-1 using the information below.

It has been 3 years since you have seen your client, Tim Smith (SSN: XXX-YY-ZZZZ), and he has made an appointment today to have his tax return prepared. During the appointment, he informed you that he started his self-service car wash a few years ago, and his business is a success. During the conversation, you gather the following information about the business:

Business Name: The Car Wash
Business address: 1046 Broadway Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92605
Business description: Self-Service Car Wash
Employer identification number: 99-8877665
Date the business started: January 1, 2008

When you ask for the financial records of the business, he provides you with an income statement that he generated. You also ask for the general ledger so you can see the detail that was recorded in each of his accounts. Mr. Smith informs you that he uses the cash basis of accounting for his business.

When you ask the client about the lease payment, he tells you that he takes care of his mother and pays for her car lease payment with cash from the business. You confirm with Mr. Smith that his mother is not involved with his business in any way.

I covered everything you need to know in my chats, and don’t forget you’re completing the 1120 Schedule M1, NOT the 1065! And you’re using the 1120 M1 and NOT the 1120F M1!
