Question

Which item does not appear on Schedule K of Form 1120S?

1) Foreign loss.
2) Utilities expense.
3) Intangible drilling costs.
4) Recovery of a tax benefit.
5) All of these items appear on Schedule K.

Answer 1

Utilities expense (Option 2)does not appear on Schedule K of Form 1120S; it is a standard operational expense reported elsewhere on the tax return.

Step-by-step explanation:

The item that does not appear on Schedule K of Form 1120S is utilities expense. Schedule K is used to report income, deductions, credits, and other items that pass through from an S corporation to its shareholders. The items typically include foreign transactions like foreign income or loss, deductions related to production activities such as intangible drilling costs, and certain other adjustments such as the recovery of a tax benefit. However, a utility expense is a standard operational expense reported elsewhere on the tax return, not on Schedule K.
