WHAT w2 BOX DO i USE FOR OFFICERS COMPENSATION ON AN 1120S

[abctax55 · Accepted solution]

YOU USE THE ACTUAL WAGES PAID PER THE TRIAL BALANCE.

You *do* have a working trial balance/set of reconciled books to start from, right?

Mary - based on the question, it sounds like this could be your first 1120S.  If so, you really need to do a little homework before you prepare the return to keep your client and yourself from getting in hot water.  If you don't care to spend some time doing the necessary homework you should refer your client to someone else who has the necessary experience.
