Question:

You own a t-shirt screen printing company called Back the Pack. Back the Pack operates as a regular Corporation under Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code. Back the Pack incorporated on April 1, 2013 and business began on June 1, 2013. The company owns the building that the store is located in and all of the equipment that the business uses. The tax year for the Corporation is the calendar year and it is on the accrual method. The tax identification number for Back the Pack is 12345678.
Please complete the 2014 Form 4562 – Depreciation and Amortization. You do not need to complete Parts I, II, and V of the form because you should assume there is no Section 179 deduction, bonus depreciation, or listed property for the 2014 tax year. You will compute MACRS depreciation in Parts III and IV and amortization in Part VI. You will also need to complete Page 1 of the 2014 Form 1120 – U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return. You will only need to complete through line 31. These forms are found on the IRS website (www.irs.gov). Also, complete the Modified Schedule M-1 Reconciliation of Income (Loss) per Books with Income per Return uploaded on Moodle instead of the Schedule M-1 on page 5 of the Form 1120.

Note that the depreciation and amortization amounts computed on Form 4562 flow to Form 1120 page 1. The Form 1120 page 1 is the tax income statement that includes all tax amounts for income and deductions. The Modfied Schedule M-1 starts with net income per books and adjusts the book revenues and expenses to tax amounts using book-tax differences. Line 28 of the Form 1120 should tie to line 8 on the Schedule M-1. Use the appendix in your textbook to compute the total corporate tax on line 31 of the Form 1120. Do not worry about including any non-numerical information that is not provided with the assignment.
