    Question CPA signarure vs owner signature on 1020S

    Generic question -- does owner's signature on 1020S form represent a "red flag" for IRS and create higher probability for auditing as oppose to CPA's signature? Thanks.

    An officer's signature is required on an 1120S. A CPA cannot sign in lieu of an officer, unless they are of course an officer of the corporation.

    Self-prepared returns do not necessarily raise the risk of audit over a return prepared by a paid preparer.
