Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Because you reported a future payment on your prior year return, you have a book-to-tax timing difference this year. Making this adjustment should bring your balance sheet into balance.

 

Add the amount of the prior year contribution on the Schedule M-1 Worksheet under Timing (temporary) items, Other timing expense items. You will need to make this adjustment each year you report SEP contributions for the prior year.

 

To enter this adjustment:

  1. Click on the Forms icon in the TurboTax Business header.
  2. Find "Sch M-1 Wks" in the left column and click the form name to open it in the large window.
  3. Scroll down to the bottom of the form and look for "Other timing expense items" under the "Book Depreciation..." box.
  4. Type in "SEP Contribution for 2022" on the yellow line.
  5. Enter the amount reported last year in the first column and "0" in the second column.
  6. Open Form 1120S p3-5 and review Schedule L to confirm your balance sheet is in balance.
