Make an informed decision

Corporation vs. LLC: what about taxes?

Your legal structure and federal tax classification are not always the same. Learn the basics before you decide, then consult a qualified tax adviser about your situation.

C corporation — default corporate tax treatment

Corporation (Inc.)

  • A C corporation generally pays federal income tax on its taxable profits (currently 21%).
  • Shareholder dividends may be taxed again to recipients.
  • Eligible corporations may elect S treatment through IRS Form 2553.
  • States may impose corporate, franchise or other business taxes.
Default pass-through treatment

Limited Liability Company (LLC)

  • Single-member LLCs are generally disregarded for federal income tax unless an election is made.
  • Multi-member LLCs generally default to partnership taxation.
  • An eligible LLC can elect S-corporation tax status without changing its legal structure.
  • Self-employment and payroll-tax rules depend on classification and compensation.
How do I create an S corporation? First form an eligible domestic corporation or LLC, obtain an EIN as needed, confirm shareholder and ownership eligibility, and timely file IRS Form 2553. Usually the election deadline is no more than two months and 15 days after the tax year starts; exceptions and relief provisions can apply. An eligible LLC ordinarily does not need to separately file Form 8832 when it makes a timely valid Form 2553 election. S corporations generally pass federal items of income and loss through to shareholders, but compensation, state-level taxes and special federal taxes can still apply. IRS Form 2553 guidance ↗

Texas business taxes: what you need to know

Texas does not impose a traditional state corporate income tax. Many businesses are subject to the Texas franchise (margin) tax framework, which has thresholds and reporting rules.

Federal tax treatment

  • C corporations generally face a 21% federal corporate income tax on taxable income.
  • Default LLC taxation differs for single-member and multi-member LLCs.
  • Eligible LLCs and corporations can elect S-corporation tax treatment by filing IRS Form 2553.
  • Owners should consider payroll, self-employment tax, distributions and state recognition of S status.

    Common questions

    Frequently asked questions

    Does the $999 include government filing fees?

    Yes, the standard filing fees for the purchased formation service are included in the $999 price. Optional services and special government charges, where applicable, must be disclosed before checkout.

    Can an LLC elect S-corporation tax treatment?

    Generally yes, if the entity and its owners meet eligibility requirements. IRS Form 2553 is used to make the election, subject to deadlines and tax-adviser review.

    Can I form in this state while living elsewhere?

    Often yes. But you need an eligible registered agent with a qualifying in-state registered office. Your personal address alone may not qualify.

    Is the rush turnaround guaranteed?

    Yes. If we do not deliver your corporation within 48 hours under the published Monday–Friday rush policy, we will return your rush fee less applicable nonrefundable state filing fees. The checkout terms will explain when the 48-hour period starts, qualifying state closures and any permitted prior written notice exceptions.
