The primary difference between the income sections of IRS Form 1120 and Form 1120S lies in the tax treatment of the entities they represent. Form 1120 is used by C corporations, which are taxed at the corporate level, meaning they report their income and pay taxes directly on that income. In contrast, Form 1120S is for S corporations, which are pass-through entities; they do not pay federal income tax at the corporate level, and instead, income is passed through to shareholders who report it on their individual tax returns. This distinction affects how income, deductions, and credits are reported and taxed.
Form 1120 is used by C corporations to report their income, deductions, and taxes owed to the IRS, reflecting the corporation's overall financial performance. In contrast, Form 1120S is for S corporations, which pass their income, deductions, and credits directly to shareholders, avoiding double taxation. Consequently, the income section of Form 1120 includes corporate revenue and expenses, while Form 1120S details income passed through to shareholders, typically reported on their individual tax returns. This fundamental difference reflects the underlying tax treatment of C corporations versus S corporations.
Form 1120S is U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation. First, total income is calculated in the Income Section of page 1. You add gross profit (cost of goods sold minus gross receipts/sales less returns/allowances) with net gain/loss from Form 4797 (Sales of Business Property) and any other income. Second, in the Deductions Section, total the expenses on lines 7-19, which include compensation of officers, salaries/wages (less employment credits), advertising, etc. Third, subtract Total Deductions on line 20 from Total Income on line 6. The result is Ordinary Business Income (or Loss).
All states except Colorado, Texas, and Tennesee require a copy of the Federal tax return be attached when paper filing.

A distributor will pay taxes as would any other business. They would file the return based on the type of business they are legally. If a sole proprietorship, they would file a 1040 with a Schedule C for the business section. If a C Corporation, they would file a 1120 Corporate return. If a Subchapter S corporation, they will file 1120S. A partnership will file a form 1065 return. Their income is calculated as income minus cost of good sold minus expense will equal income.
