Yes. Schedule B is part of Form 1120-S, and the IRS instructions state that an S corporation should complete all Schedule B items that apply to the corporation. Schedule B contains informational questions regarding matters such as ownership, accounting method, business activity, shareholder information, foreign transactions, and certain elections or reporting obligations. That does not necessarily mean every question will require a substantive entry. Some questions may simply be answered “Yes,” “No,” or left inapplicable depending on the corporation’s circumstances. If you are preparing the return yourself and are uncertain whether a particular Schedule B question applies, it is worth having a CPA or tax professional review the return before filing.

Corporate Governance

Corporate Resolution

Texas

Asked on Sep 24, 2024

Can a corporate resolution be revoked or amended after it has been adopted?

I am the CEO of a small corporation and recently our board of directors adopted a corporate resolution to authorize a significant business transaction. However, since then, new information has come to light that suggests the transaction may not be in the best interest of the company. I am wondering if it is possible to revoke or amend the corporate resolution that was previously adopted in order to prevent the transaction from moving forward.

I would highly recommend you have an attorney review this issue for you. There are many questions that require resolution prior to knowing whether the board’s action can be amended or revoked, including what your company’s foundational documents say about the powers of the board and the CEO. Further, without reading the resolution, I am not able to determine whether the board resolution simply allows the course of action if determined prudent (in which case, no modification necessary) or if the board is actually mandating the course of action. Regardless, a competent attorney should be able to advise you. I would be happy to assist if you like.

Corporate Resolution

California

Asked on Aug 11, 2024

What is a Corporate Resolution and how is it used in business?

I am currently working as a manager in a small business and we are in the process of making important decisions regarding the company's operations and financial matters. I have heard about the concept of a Corporate Resolution but I am not entirely clear on what it entails and how it is used in a business setting. I would like to understand the purpose and significance of a Corporate Resolution, as well as the legal requirements and implications associated with it, so that I can ensure our decision-making process is legally sound and in compliance with corporate governance standards.

A corporate resolution is a formal document that records a binding decision made by a corporation's board of directors or shareholders. It outlines the actions the company intends to take and serves as an official record of these decisions. Corporate resolutions are legally binding and hold significant implications for the company, its directors, and shareholders. Here's a breakdown of their purpose, significance, legal requirements, and implications: Purpose: Corporate resolutions document important decisions, ensuring transparency and accountability within the company. They provide a clear record of the decision-making process and the individuals involved. Additionally, they can be used to demonstrate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Significance: Corporate resolutions serve as evidence of a company's actions and can be used to enforce agreements, resolve disputes, and defend against legal challenges. They also play a crucial role in maintaining corporate governance and protecting the interests of shareholders. Legal Requirements: The specific legal requirements for corporate resolutions vary depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the decision being made. However, some common requirements include: - Proper Authorization: The resolution must be approved by the appropriate corporate body, such as the board of directors or shareholders, following the company's bylaws and applicable laws. - Clear and Unambiguous Language: The resolution should be written in clear and concise language, leaving no room for misinterpretation. - Proper Execution: The resolution must be signed and dated by authorized individuals, typically the corporate secretary or other designated officers. - Record Keeping: The resolution should be maintained in the company's official records for future reference. Legal Implications: Corporate resolutions have several legal implications, including: - Binding Effect: Once adopted, a corporate resolution is legally binding on the company and its stakeholders. - Liability: Directors and officers can be held personally liable for actions taken based on a resolution that is illegal, fraudulent, or violates the company's bylaws. - Enforceability: Corporate resolutions can be used to enforce agreements and contracts entered into by the company. In conclusion, corporate resolutions are essential tools for documenting and formalizing important corporate decisions. They ensure transparency, accountability, and compliance with legal requirements, while also protecting the interests of the company and its stakeholders.

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

Who pays expenses in a joint venture?

I am currently exploring the possibility of forming a joint venture with another company to pursue a business opportunity. However, I am unclear on how expenses related to the joint venture will be paid and whether each company is responsible for their own expenses or if they will be shared. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to better understand the financial implications of a joint venture and ensure that my interests are protected.

I am a WA State employment attorney. If you didn’t receive anything in return for signing the non-compete, it may be relatively easy to get out of it. If, however, you signed in return for something, such as a severance package, it will be challenging to get out of the agreement. However, many non-compete agreements are written overly broadly and may not be enforceable under the laws of WA and other states. You may want to consult with a WA State employment attorney for a review of the documents and law(s) of the state(s) where you may want to work or set up a business. (A WA State attorney can only provide legal advice in WA, but can help you find applicable law/case decisions for other states but without providing anything beyond information, much like a law librarian).
