What Is a C-Corporation?
A C-Corporation is a separate legal and tax entity from its owners. It files its own federal income tax return using IRS Form 1120 and pays tax at the corporate level.
Key characteristics include:
- Separate taxation from shareholders
- Ability to retain earnings within the company
- Potential for broader ownership structures
- Eligibility for certain deductions and credits not available to pass-through entities
- Possible “double taxation” of distributed profits
