Hi,
I filed a final return for my S-Corp last years and was advised to keep my business account open for 6 months just in case something came up. There was about $95 in dividends paid in the money market. According to the Information Tax Reporting Statement the dividends were NOT reported to the IRS and "Our records indicate that you are an exempt recipient for 1099 reporting purposes. This statement is based on IRS information reporting requirements as of the preparation date and is
NOT furnished to the IRS. You may be subject to different income tax reporting requirements. Please contact your tax advisor if you have any questions." What should I do, if anything?
Thanks,
John

The correct thing to do would be to file an S corporation return and report the income. However, if you reported the dividend income on the personal tax return of the shareholder(s) to which it belongs, that may be an acceptable work-around solution. Also, you need to keep in mind there is a $220 per month penalty for late filing of an S Corporation return K-1 schedule, so the safe thing to do would be to file the S Corporation return.
Thank you for your quick reply.
