What is an 1120 tax form?

The Form 1120, also known as the U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return, is a tax form used by corporations in the United States to report their income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Corporations are required to file a Form 1120 if they are taxable as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. This includes most business entities that are incorporated, such as C corporations, S corporations, and limited liability companies (LLCs) that are treated as corporations for tax purposes.

The Form 1120 consists of several parts and schedules, including:

• Part I: This section is used to report the corporation’s gross income, deductions, and credits.
• Part II: This section is used to calculate the corporation’s tax liability based on its income, deductions, and credits.
• Part III: This section is used to report the corporation’s income tax liability and the tax paid.
• Schedules A through J: These schedules are used to report additional information about the corporation’s income, deductions, credits, and other tax-related items.

The Form 1120 must be filed by the corporation’s tax return due date, which is typically the 15th day of the third month after the end of the corporation’s tax year.
