A corporation is a legal entity formed by filing articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State.

Like a sole proprietorship, an S Corporation allows profits and losses to pass through to the members (owners), who report them on their personal income taxes. As a pass-through entity, all profits and losses are passed through to the members and not taxed at the corporate level.

However, a C Corporation is a separate legal entity distinct from its owners and pays corporate taxes as an independent entity.
