S corporation. An S corporation, for United States federal income tax purposes, is a closely held corporation (or, in some cases, a limited liability company or a partnership) 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 federal income taxes.
It is important to understand that the S corporation designation is merely a tax choice made to have your business taxed according to Subchapter S, hence the designation, of Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Service Code. All S corporations begin as some other business entity, either a sole proprietorship, a C corporation or an LLC. The business then elects to become an S corporation for tax purposes. An LLC is more appropriate for business owners whose primary concern is business management flexibility.
