How do I trigger the optional Officer Compensation statement that prints as a green link next to Form 1120S, line 7?
There are two ways to trigger the optional statement:
- Click on Settings on the menu bar.
- Choose Options to open the User Options window.
- Click on the Tax Return tab.
- Scroll to the section titled Federal Tax Options.
- Click the down arrow for “State Pptional Officer Comp Stmt” and select Yes.
- Click OK to exit
Or:
- Open the client file.
- At the Table of Contents, click on Screen 2, Officer Compensation.
- In the left-hand navigation column, click on the blue Miscellaneous link at the top left.
- Enter a 1 in “1=print officer and director schedules, 2=suppress [O].”
The first method will affect all S-Corporation client files. The second method will affect only the client file in which the entry is made.
