What is an s corporation?
A relatively small corporation may apply for tax status under Subchapter S of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (26 USC 1361 et seq.). The Code limits the number of investors, their nationalities, classes of stock, and types of investors (generally individuals, not corporations), and the restrictions and definitions change from time to time.In general, the major advantage of an S-corp is that it is not subject to income taxes, but rather they are "passed through" to the shareholders, pro rata. Therefore, shareholders of an S-corp only pay personal income taxes on the corporate income and the income is not taxed twice (once as corporate income and once as shareholder income). Furthermore, taxation of dividends paid to shareholders are subject to special treatment and may be excluded from gross income of the shareholder in some cases.

What are the pros and cons of incorporation?
Cons: Expensive - can cost from $1,000 and higher to have a corporation set up. And you must pay to have a corporate tax return prepared annually which usually start at around $1,500. Corporations also pay tax on net income and in some states on the value of the stock, etc. Time Consuming - You MUST treat a corportaion properly to retain it's protection from liability. Record keeping should be meticulous: minutes should be kept of all meetings, etc. Pros: Liability Protection - Liability caused by the company stays at the company level - the shareholder is insulated from the corporation's liabilities so long as the corporation is not abused by the shareholder. Tax Benefits - Corporate income is not earned income and therefore is not subject to self employment taxes, nor earned income taxes. There are more, but beyond the above (cursory information) you should consult a CPA or an attorney.
