In-Depth Incorporation FAQ
What is the difference between an S-Corporation and a C-Corporation?
The S-Corporation is similar in structure to a C-Corporation, yet it is not subject to the C-Corporation "double tax." The profits of an S-Corporation will only be taxed at the individual level, whereas a C-Corporation is taxed at the corporate and individual level.
An S-Corporation is initially formed as a C-Corporation by filing the Articles of Incorporation within a state. The C-Corporation can then become an S-Corporation when an extra step is taken by filing with the IRS.
