Accounting 432/732 Case 3, Shannon Properties—Additional Tax Return Information Spring 2004

1. Form 1120 Consolidated Corporate Income Tax Return

To complete the spread-sheet enter the relevant data for each corporation and add across to obtain the totals. There are no adjustments required to complete this assignment. GAAP consolidation procedures are both unnecessary and inappropriate.

2. Pro Series 2003—General Observations.

 Save your processed input to the C drive of your computer. Wayland Caldwell, our Calloway computer specialist, will assist you if you have problems. You can reach Wayland at ex 7010.

 You will find that accessing the Pro Series 2003 software may be slow. Once the blue and white Pro Series title sheet appears, click on it and enter the program.

 The first step in completing the corporate and partnership tax return assignments is to establish a client file. There are separate detailed instructions at the end of this me on saving and retrieving information. You must create a separate file for the corporate and for the partnership returns. Start with the Federal form 1120 and then do the IA and MN state corporate returns.

 Use select print (printer on tool bar with the red arrow) to print the return schedules.

 Right click on Override to correct information previously entered automatically. The Pro Series 2003 is very complex and you may not agree with the predetermined result. Check to make sure that the result transfers correctly to other schedules and/or worksheets.

 A good illustration of the use of the override feature is the calculation of an estimated income tax penalty on page 1 of Form 1120. Use override to enter a –0- for this penalty.
