The Answer

   

The C Corporation and the S Corporation have many similarities.  These similarities make the decision process a tad more complex for most individuals - simply because it is not a part of the daily routine and the laws change so rapidly.

A good place to start the process is to look at two PowerPoint presentations Bob Parrish CPA has prepared for you.  These are not the only articles you will want to look at - but you will find these two presentations to be a good start (The third "S Corporation an Introduction" has a short movie you may watch on this topic):

PowerPoint Format Browser Format
  1. Corporations
  2. Basic Comparison of the C and the S Corporation
  3. S Corporation an Introduction
  1. Corporations
  2. Basic Comparison of the C and the S Corporation
  3. S Corporation an Introduction

 

 Keep in mind the following:

  1. Both have limited liability

  2. The C Corporation pays tax, and the shareholder pays tax on what s/he draws from the corporation

  3. The S Corporation does not pay tax and the entire loss or profit is deducted to taxed to the shareholder

  4. The employee benefits of the S Corporation are limited for the 2% or more S Corporation shareholder
