Course Description

This course currently consists of a comprehensive problem showing the data input process of a C Corporation into tax Form 1120.

This course will put together a systematic format of entering data into a Form 1120 that will minimize errors, isolate problems as they happen, and remove the possibility of having to start the process all over again.

We will enter each M-1 adjustment individually into both the tax return and an Excel worksheet so that we fully understand how M-1 adjustments function.

We will start by reviewing the data for the comprehensive problem.

Then we will enter the data into an Excel worksheet that will be used to help us organize the information.

We will be using Lacerte Tax software to enter the tax data into Form 1120. However, we will also provide PDF files of the tax forms so learners can enter the data directly into the tax forms as we go. The tax forms can also be found on the IRS website.

The course will demonstrate how to enter the data into the tax forms in stages to reduce potential mistakes and to identify mistakes as they happen so they can be fixed as easily as possible.

We will start the data input with the balance sheet.

Then we will enter the income statement as it is formatted in the adjusted trial balance.

Next, we will systematically go through the M-1 adjustments. We will isolate these adjustments, reviewing them on the tax forms, in the software, and using our Excel worksheet.

We will then review the tax forms.

it is very old data and old inforamtion, methods, tools, procedure are there, and delivery of course is not good too much fast and not getting concept clear, this course not worth it.

By Stella Andrew on 11/5/2025

This training is quiet interesting but I think it should be broken down into different session from one stage to the other to enable people learn the first stage practice and come back for the next. This is because not everyone has same IQ. Of a truth is quiet interesting

By Euiryung Shin on 4/23/2025

Yes, but not able to find the data for book depreciation and also since I don't have the software I feel like I'm missing out on that component, but great so far.

By Darron Jackson on 7/11/2024

This course is so convenient for my pace of learning. The instructor is very detailed, and I can stop and start the course anytime while taking notes. It's perfect so far for me.

By Aaron Allinson on 6/21/2024

So far, this is very detailed and quite useful. It contains a lot of the details that I use on a daily basis but provides the background which it more useful for me.

By Paige O'Byrne on 9/17/2023

This is a good review course. I am starting a new job as a tax accountant and haven't done an 1120 tax form since school. I followed each module and entered the information on the tax forms so I can be familiar with where to put the data. This was very helpful for me.

By Jinli Ma on 9/4/2023

I work as a data scientist without a background in accounting, but I've successfully automated tax processes. I find this course to be quite straightforward and user-friendly.

By Chirag Solanki on 2/22/2022

The course is practical training on the subject. It will equip the user with practical knowledge and tools to go out and start performing. The language is easy. Content covered is reasonable. What more it actually teaches best practices.

By Gerald Sena on 2/10/2020

I love the course and the instructor. Preparing a C Corp tax return is tough but this course makes it a lot easier than before. I have my own practice in my accounting business. I work with small businesses and only a few are C Corps. I can do C Corps, S Corps, partnerships, and LLCs now. I can do many business tax returns now.
