Corporations are typically taxed on dividend income at the corporate tax rate when they earn profits. However, when these profits are distributed as dividends to shareholders, they are taxed again at the individual level, leading to a phenomenon known as "double taxation." This means that the same income is taxed first at the corporate level and then again when received by shareholders. Some jurisdictions may offer tax credits or reduced rates on dividend income to mitigate this issue.

What is primary difference of income sections of 1120 vs 1120s?

The primary difference between the income sections of IRS Form 1120 and Form 1120S lies in the tax treatment of the entities they represent. Form 1120 is used by C corporations, which are taxed at the corporate level, meaning they report their income and pay taxes directly on that income. In contrast, Form 1120S is for S corporations, which are pass-through entities; they do not pay federal income tax at the corporate level, and instead, income is passed through to shareholders who report it on their individual tax returns. This distinction affects how income, deductions, and credits are reported and taxed.

What is the major advantage of S corporations?

The net income of an S-Corporation are taxed to the end of the S-Corporation's fiscal year as part of the income taxes that are paid during the shareholders tax year in which the S-Corporation completes its fiscal year. This provides a benefit of avoiding the corporation "double-tax". That is, with other types of corporations, the corporation pays the taxes directly. Then, when you sell your stock in the company the increased value of the stock is taxed again. When you sell an S-Corporation stock, you are not taxed on the gain as a stockholder because the tax was already paid when the corporation reported income. The corporate tax rate is also usually higher than the highest individual tax rates. If the tax is paid through an individuals income tax, the overall tax paid as a percentage of the corporations income is lower than it would be under other types of corporations. An S-Corporation also has an added benefit when it takes a loss for the fiscal year. With other types of corporations, usually a loss results in zero tax. With an S-Corporation, the loss is passed to the shareholders who can deduct the loss from their income for individual income tax purposes, resulting in a lower tax for the individual.
