Schedule K-1 (Form 1120S) is prepared by a corporation as part of the filing of their tax return. Each shareholder is provided a Schedule K-1 by the corporation. The K-1 reflects the shareholder's share of income, deductions, credits and other items that the shareholder will need to report on their individual tax return (Form 1040).
K-1 1120-S Form:
The actual K-1 (Form 1120S) consists of three parts:
Part I - Information about the Corporation. This section contains basic information on the corporation such as its Name, Address and EIN.
Part II - Information about the Shareholder. This section contains information about the shareholder and their investment in the corporation. Specifically, this section identifies the percentage of stock ownership that the shareholder has for the tax year.
Part III - Shareholder's Share of Current Year Income, Deductions, Credits, and Other Items. This section is used to report the shareholder's share of any of the corporation's Income, Deductions, Credits, etc.
To assist in the entry of a Schedule K-1 (Form 1120S), review the Shareholder’s Instructions for Schedule K-1 (Form 1120S) and any instructional information that the corporation provided the taxpayer/shareholder with the K-1.

Amounts entered will then pull to the appropriate form, schedule or line of the taxpayer’s 1040. Some items may have to be entered on other entry menus based on the item and/or the election that the taxpayer makes on how to treat that income, deduction or credit item.
