The chalcogens (/ËkÃ¦lkÉdÊÉªnz/) are the chemical elements in group 16 of the periodic table. This group is also known as the oxygen family. It consists of the elements oxygen (O), sulfur (S), selenium (Se), tellurium (Te), and the radioactive element polonium (Po). The chemically uncharacterized synthetic element livermorium (Lv) is predicted to be a chalcogen as well.
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.
One possible tax advantage of an S Corp is pass-through taxation. Corporations can elect pass-through taxation by applying to the IRS for status as a Subchapter S Corporation. The S Corporation provides the same protection from personal liability as a C Corporation. However, owners of an S Corporation can report their share of profit and loss in the company on their individual tax returns. An S Corporation files IRS Form 1120s to report income. S Corporations have a number of restrictions. Most notably, only U.S. citizens or permanent residents may own an S Corporation.
