Final C Corp Tax return for a short year. Can i do this on Turbo Tax

I have already filed my 2025 Corp Tax return.  We closed our business in February 2026 so I have a short year for 2026.  How do I file my final tax return for 2026 using Turbo Tax?

See https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1120#en_US_2025_publink11455td0e1608

 

The 2025 Form 1120 can also be used if:

  • The corporation has a tax year of less than 12 months that begins and ends in 2026, and

  • The 2026 Form 1120 is not available at the time the corporation is required to file its return.

The corporation must show its 2026 tax year on the 2025 Form 1120 and take into account any tax law changes that are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.

See my post above. You can use the 2025 version of TurboTax Business, but you will have to make the requisite adjustments for the 2026 short year.
