An S-Corp's Retained Earnings balance is not reported on a K-1 (Form 1120s) Shareholder's Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc.

 

When entering your information to complete your personal tax return (1040) you need to enter the data from the K-1 you receive, not the entire 1120S.

 

To do this in TurboTax you can follow these steps:

  1. Sign in and open your return by selecting Pick up where you left off under a section.
  2. Search for K-1 and select the Jump to link at the top of the search results.
  3. This will take you to the Schedules K-1 or Q screen.
  4. Answer Yes and follow the prompts. 
  5. We’ll ask some questions about your K-1, and then you’ll enter the data from the form.
