Answer 1

Answer: false

Explanation:

Schedule M-1 is required when the corporation's gross receipts or its total assets at the end of the year are greater than $250,000. The calculation for Schedule M-1 is done in reverse from the form itself. The taxable income reported on Schedule M-1, line 10, is available from on form 1120
