Form 1120-S - Tight API

The Form 1120-S is generally used by S-corporations to file taxes with the IRS. Tight makes generating this form a breeze.

1. How it works

Take a look at our Tax Reporting docs for an overview on how to easily generate tax reports for your users. Any data that has been tracked within the Tight API, including expenses, income, tax profile, etc., will all automatically flow into the Form 1120-S.

2. Populate the desired parameters

Each tax report has a couple important parameters:

Parameter name	Format	Example
year	Numeric	2020
businessIds	Array of numeric IDs	[416080, 416077]

A Form 1120-S has to be filed for each S-corporation. The Tight API already allows you to track income/expenses by business, which makes generating a Form 1120-S per business easy for you. To get the necessary businessIds, simply retrieve the user’s businesses and group them together as shown below.

3. Generating your Form 1120-S

Once you’ve decided on the appropriate parameters, you can build a report JSON object. To generate the report, simply create a POST call, as shown below:

curl \
  --request POST \
  --url https://sandbox.hurdlr.com/rest/v5/reports/report \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer ${access_token}' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "name": "form1120S",
    "params": {
      "year": 2020,
      "businessIds": [416080, 416077]
    },
    "exportType": "PDF"
  }'
