how to handle corporate capital stock when the company is dissolved
Our corporation was dissolved in April. The balance sheet shows Capital Stock equity of > $863k. I read somewhere that the Capital Stock is zeroed out by entering an equal amount against the Retained Earnings account (can't find the website I read about it now). I tried that but I got warning message. I also read that the balance sheet should show zero amounts for everything after everything is accounted for. So I think I need to debit the Capital Stock account and credit the Retained Earnings (or vice versa) but I'm not sure. I already filed the 966 form with the IRS as per the legal counsel's instructions.

I think you may be right about retained earnings. You will get a warning when using the account, but it's OK to continue. Then check the results in your reporting and see if it looks correct.
