General Corporation (C Corp.)
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) refers to general corporations as “C” Corporations. Forming a C Corporation allows a business owner to create a separate legal structure that can shield their personal assets from judgments against the business. Unless a corporation applies for S Corporation status, the IRS taxes corporate profits as well as dividends paid to shareholders. We refer to this scenario as “double taxation.” Double taxation refers to corporate and shareholder taxes. Corporations must pay taxes on their earnings. Individual shareholders must also pay taxes on any dividends they receive.
