1120 C Corp - Balance Sheet / Prior Year Federal Tax Payment Handling

The C Corp paid $10,241 from their bank account last year (2021) to federal income taxes due in 2021.  (These are not estimated payments).

 

When completing the 1120 balance sheet section, the Asset section is lower by the $10,241 vs. the Liabilities & Equity Section.  (Due to the bank balance paying the taxes).

 

On TurboTax's data entry screen, I'm not readily able to see where to account for this payment on the Liabilities & Equity side.  Any help is most appreciated!

Use Forms Mode and open your 1120-S (pg3-5). Scroll down to Schedule L.

Other liabilities (which could be labeled "income tax expense").

The amount of tax paid should be subtracted from line 25 - Retained earnings -  Unappropriated. That would balance your balance sheet.

Yes - I understand this needs to be lowered.

 

However - what DATA ENTRY SCREEN in TurboTax Business permits me to lower this?

 

In the Balance Sheet Tab of the Data entry wizard, any numbers added to:

a) "Adjustments to Shareholder's Equity" is reported on Line 24.

b) "Appropriated Retained Earnings" is reported on Line 26.

c) Where is the data entry to modify line 25???

- Perhaps I'm missing this, but it doesn't seem to exist?
