“A traditional corporation, known as a C-corporation, is taxed as a separate entity, leading to double taxation of corporate income and dividends to shareholders. An S-corporation, on the other hand, is a corporation that elects to be treated as a pass-through entity (such as a sole proprietorship or partnership) for tax purposes. Since all corporate income is “passed through” directly to the shareholders who include the income on their individual tax returns, S-corporations are not subject to double taxation. Moreover, the accounting for an S-corporation is generally easier than for a C-corporation.” Additional information about S-Corporations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S_corporati…
