C Corporations are taxed twice. Once on the Corporate earnings and then as dividends to the shareholders. What a rip off, eh.....
Schedule C is to be filed by those who are in business as a sole proprietor. or in business as a single member LLC which has not elected to be taxed as a corporation.
If you are a small business the taxes you pay will be determined by the way your business is organized. There are basically three (3) forms of business entities, a sole proprietorship, an LLC (Limited Liability Company) and a corporation (S corporation and C corporation). Most small business owners are sole proprietors or single member LLCs. If this is the case then your business profits will be calculated on Schedule C and the final income number will then be transferred to your federal form 1040 and will be taxed according to your tax bracket.

corporation
Both consumers and producers are taxed in one form or another.
It depends on how you have elected your LLC to be taxed. An LLC does not have its own tax return per se; it is taxed as either a sole proprietor, a partnership, or a corporation. If you have not made any election on how you want the LLC to be taxed, there are default rules: A Single-Member LLC (one owner): by default, is taxed as a sole proprietorship. In this case, the LLC would not have its own tax return -- its income and expenses would be reported on Schedule C of the owner's individual tax return (Form 1040). A Multi-Member LLC (more than one owner): by default, is taxed as a partnership. If this is the case, the LLC will file Form 1065 Partnership tax return. If the LLC does not want to fall into one of these two default classifications, they can also elect to be taxed as a corporation by filing Form 8832 "Entity Classification Election" with the IRS. If the LLC does this, they will file a corporate income tax return, Form 1120. The LLC can also elect to be taxed as a Subchapter-S Corporation by filing Form 2553 "Election by a Small Business Corporation" with the IRS. If the LLC does this, they will file an S-Corporation tax return, Form 1120-S. Most states do not require you to make an election on how you will be taxed, they simply say that they will follow whatever election that you make with the IRS. So, the first step is to determine which form you are required to file with the IRS and then you should do the same with the State. If you have not already done so, it would probably be wise for you to sit down with an Attorney or Accountant who can explain the pros and cons of each of these choices. Each tax structure has subtle differences and one may be preferable for you over the others.
a C corporation the corporation is a separate entity who's profits are taxed then what's left of those profits are distributed/shared by the individual share holders who will be taxed on their individual share of the profits. Where as in a S corporation, subchapter corporation, the corporation entity I believe doesn't get taxed only the individual share holders do. Most small businesses are S corporations.
The phrase "void where taxed" placed on rebates and sweepstakes form protects the business form paying tax in a local jurisdictions. The prizes are taxed as income of the winner instead.
The amount that a business's income is taxed depends on which of the eight tax brackets they are in which are based on overall profit. They can be taxed from 15% to 35%.

The sole proprietorship is the oldest, simplest, and most common form of business entity. It is a business owned by a single individual. For tax and legal liability purpose, the owner and the business are one and the same. The proprietorship is not taxed as separate entity. Note that the earnings of the business are taxed at the individual level, whether or not they are actually in cash. There is no vehicle for sheltering income. For liability purposes, the individual and the business are also one and the same. Thus, legal claimants can pursue the personal property of the proprietor and not simply the assets used in the business.
