Bottom line S-Corp. Ordinary Income on the 1120S when passed to the K-1. Would this be the same as Dividents paid to an Officer that's passed to a K-1 then to their personal Sche. B. I guess what I mean is would there still be no SE Tax In either case? Is this correct?

It is not the "same" as dividends even though you are correct both are not subject to s/e tax. "dividends" are subject to the 15% qualified dividend rate for federal tax purposes and would not be reported on the k-1 but a 1099-div from the s corp to the shhr. dividends the s corp earns and passes through to the shhrs would be on the k-1 also subject to fed 15% rate if qualified. "bottom line" s corp income is subject to your shhr's ordinary income tax rates.

Do you really mean Dividends or are you talking about Distributions? There is a huge difference. If you are talking about Distributions, these are not reported on a 1099 but are reported on K-1. As well, they are not reported on the shareholders' 1040 anywhere, nor are they taxable if not in excess of basis. I'm sorry if I misunderstood your questions.LJACPA 08:14, 13 January 2006 (CST)
