Corporation
A corporation is defined as a legal entity or structure created under the authority
of the laws of a state consisting of a person, or group of persons, who become
shareholders. The entity’s existence is considered separate and distinct from that of
its members. Since a corporation is an entity in its own right, it is liable for its own
debts and obligations. In forming a corporation, prospective shareholders transfer
money, property, or both, for the corporation’s capital stock.
S Corporation
An S corporation, for United States federal income tax purposes, is a corporation that makes a valid election to be taxed under Subchapter S of Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code.
In general, S Corporations do not pay any income taxes. Instead, the corporation's income or losses are divided among and passed through to its shareholders. The shareholders must then report the income or loss on their own individual income tax returns. This concept is called single taxation; if the corporation is taxed as a C Corporation, it will face double taxation, meaning both the corporation's profits, and the shareholders' dividends, will be taxed.
