One other thing that I'm not sure is important. When I was originally setting up the file, the SCorp designation hadn't gone through yet so I think I had to do taxes for the first year as a sole proprietor.  For the next year, I changed the designation in Quickbooks to SCorp.  Would that have anything to do with the problem with retained earnings?  I didn't start a new company file I just changed the tax designation in the company settings.
