How do I enter net income per books for C Corp so it flows through to M-1?

[abctax55]

You don't.

That amount populates FROM all the entries you do for income, expenses, non-deductible expenses, etc.

But isn't line 1 supposed to be my NI per books?  I adjust in the lines below, correct? 

[abctax55]

Yes... but if you enter all the other numbers, correctly, from your trial balance it WILL match.

The adjustments below flow automatically as appropriate.
