Where AI form filling goes wrong on Form 1120-S

Form 1120-S draws on a stack of workpapers: book figures and tax figures, a balance sheet, a shareholder register and a ledger of payments to owners, often with more than one version of the same number. These are the common places AI tools and autofill get it wrong. What the form requires is for the IRS to say. Follow its instructions. IRS official page for Form 1120-S.

Fiscal-year dates written out

A fiscal-year corporation’s records write the year out, as in “July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024”. The header wants month and day with a two-digit year. Software can copy the dates as written, or swap month and day.

Book income isn’t the return’s income

The file holds an income statement per books and a tax schedule, and their numbers differ. Depreciation is one example. Software can put a book amount on a tax line.

A balance sheet total that doesn’t add up

A draft balance sheet can print a total that doesn’t match its own accounts. Software copies the printed total into item F and Schedule L without adding anything up.

Charitable gifts listed with the expenses

The books list charitable contributions with the other expenses, but they’re reported separately to shareholders, not deducted on page 1. Software can add them to other deductions.

Payments to owners that aren’t distributions

A ledger of payments to shareholders mixes distributions with repayments of money an owner lent the company, and often ends with one total. Software can report the whole total as distributions.

How Fyllyo takes care of them

With a test client and seven workpapers (an organizer, the shareholder register, the tax operating schedule, Schedule K items and owner payments, a draft balance sheet, a book-to-tax reconciliation and the AAA schedule), Fyllyo filled 112 fields in 64 seconds. It left 4 for the preparer, each with the reason.

Fyllyo's review of a test Form 1120-S: item F, total assets, left empty for the preparer, with the note that the documents give two different amounts, 255,500 vs 252,500.
  • Fiscal-year dates written out. Reads the dates as written and puts them in the header’s format itself. In the test, that was 07/01 to 06/30, 24.
  • Book income isn’t the return’s income. Fills page 1 from the final tax schedule, $18,000 of depreciation rather than the books’ $12,000, and keeps net income per books for Schedule M-1.
  • A balance sheet total that doesn’t add up. Adds up the accounts and compares the sum with the printed total. In the test the draft printed 252,500 and the accounts came to 255,500, so it left total assets for the preparer with both amounts.
  • Charitable gifts listed with the expenses. Keeps charitable contributions off page 1 and reports them on Schedule K line 12a.
  • Payments to owners that aren’t distributions. Keeps the two apart. In the test, it reported $15,000 of distributions, not the ledger’s $25,000 total.
