The requirements, form, and instructions for Form 1120-S are the same as those specified for Form 1040-C, due by the due date, under the Instructions for Form 1040-C. Certain restrictions also apply to Form 1120-S. (See also Notice 2013-42.) Form 1120 is also used to prepare Schedule K-1. See Part II, Item C of Form 8949 and Part IX, Item 3 of Form 8949, for additional information. In the case of an S corporation that is exempt from U.S. federal income tax, Form 1120-S can include only the following information for the year(s) in which the payment was made, or the period for which it was paid: The number of shares and the fair market value of all the shares of the corporation, as applicable; The name with the last known address of the share owner, who must designate in the return the address where notice can be given, (if any) The amount of the payment for each share of the business interest, for the year or period (whichever is longer) for which such amount is paid; In the case of S corporation shareholders who received the payment from the individual receiving the payment, the name and address of such party; and In the case of shareholders who received the payment from individuals other than related individuals, the name of the entity that paid the payment for each individual. Forms 1120-S are not required to be transmitted to or processed through the IRS, and may be transmitted or processed by other entities and tax preparers.

If the Form 1120-S for an individual fails to include this information, a shareholder cannot be identified using the information contained on the Form 8889, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. Form 1120-S is available electronically from the IRS website. A shareholder's tax return information must be received by the IRS by the statutory due date, as specified in section 6014-A, as prescribed by section 6018-A, for the calendar year (including extensions) during which it was paid.
