The Benefits of forming a S Corporation

S Corporation

An S Corporation is a special form of corporation (Note: The "S" in S Corporation refers to subchapter S of the tax code). S Corporations are based on C Corporations but they are not treated as a separate tax entity as C Corporations are. Instead, the income of an S Corporation is "passed through" to the personal income of its owners (shareholders) in proportion to their ownership interest.
