S Corporation

The S Corporation is a corporation that elects to be taxed under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Tax Code. Being an S-Corporation is a tax matter only. S Corps are “tax pass through” business entities, meaning their profits and losses are reported by its owners on their personal tax returns.
