rich Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Appreciate advise, Client is closing real estate S-Corp and sold last property, client haven't took income distribution in past years and shows $219000 retained earning as past and current year balance on schedule M2 Line 8. Is it right to take cash distribution on Schedule K Line 16D and that info roll overs to schedule M2 line8 to make zero balance? Its Final return though.

Its Final return though. I'm not completely clear as to what you are asking. If the distribution was taken in 2024 then I would not show it on the 2023 tax return, since there would be both a cash balance and retained earnings balance as of December 31 2023. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich Posted March 2 Author Report Share Posted March 2 Client's past accountant haven't took distribution of Income/ profit in past year and funds shows in 219K in AAA account. Previous accountant didn't completed sch L as he says Corp gross under $250K. Now this year Corp is closing for good and should it be right to take all current past tax paid profit and current year profit in distribution on schedule line 16D and that info reflects on schedule M2 line 8 to bring balance to zero.

I think I follow you now. Show correct beginning balance and actual distributions for the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
