In past years my accountant completed my LLC tax returns. Each year the LLC provides some employee benefits (not wages) and these costs have been recorded on Line 18 of Form 1120-S. I am trying to complete 2020 taxes myself this year.
I do not see any means to enter employee benefits that get reflected on Line 18. Instead, the costs are automatically shifted to Line 7 - Compensation of Officers, which then is reflected as W-2 wages on 199A Statement A (QBI Pass-through Entity Reporting). In turn, this impacts my personal tax return unfavorably.
How can I enter Employee Benefits so they are recorded on Line 18 and not reflected as W-2 Wages on 199A Statement A?
