Not every corporation can qualify to be taxed as a subchapter S corporation. The IRS imposes a list of limitations and restrictions that the business and shareholders must meet and continue to comply with at all times. Some of the major ones include that there must be less than 100 shareholders. The shareholders must all be natural persons (with limited exceptions) and the shareholders must be based in the US. Also, there must only be one class of stock. At Mark Bryant, CPA, we can help you navigate to the right legal entity for your business and structure your accounting services to meet your requirements.
If you own a C-Corporation, you must report your business income and expense activity on IRS Form 1120. If you have a calendar year reporting period, your corporate tax return is due on March 15. If you have a fiscal year reporting period, your corporate tax return is due on the 15th day of the 3rd month following the close of your tax year. Corporations pay corporate income tax on net profits and shareholders also pay capital gains tax on dividends received from the corporation.
