Federal Filing Requirements when Closing a C-Corp

I have had a C-Corp since 1982. It was a one-person software company. I decided to close the business on 12/31/2021. I filed "Articles of Dissolution" with my state.

What do I have to file with the Federal government to correctly close the business? I think that I have to file a Form-966 and the final Form-1120 with the "Final Return Box" checked, but is there some other form that I have to file, or is there some other action that I must take.

Thank you.

You need to check the Final Return box on the form 1120 and file form 966 Corporate Dissolution or Liquidation. Also, if you took any special depreciation or section 179 depreciation on any business assets, you should indicate in TurboTax that you disposed of them in case there is any depreciation recapture that needs to be reported.
