A distributor will pay taxes as would any other business. They would file the return based on the type of business they are legally. If a sole proprietorship, they would file a 1040 with a Schedule C for the business section. If a C Corporation, they would file a 1120 Corporate return. If a Subchapter S corporation, they will file 1120S. A partnership will file a form 1065 return. Their income is calculated as income minus cost of good sold minus expense will equal income.
Non-owners are subject to payroll taxes as any other employee is. Owners will pay FICA tax when they file their Form 1040, but are not subject to unemployment tax if they agree to not be taxed as a corporation.
No, an S Corporation cannot directly pay your personal taxes. As an S Corporation owner, you are responsible for paying your personal taxes separately from the business entity.

to pay dividends
Income to the corporation, as a legal "person", is taxable against the corporation. When the treasury pays dividends from its income to its shareholders, the dividend is taxable again as "income" to the shareholders. A "subchapter S-corporation" avoids this by skipping the corporate taxes and directly taxing the shareholders for any corporate income.

An S Corporation pays taxes by passing its income, deductions, and credits through to its shareholders, who report them on their individual tax returns. The corporation itself does not pay federal income tax, but it files an informational tax return to report its financial activity to the IRS.
It all depends if you are a sole proprietor of a corporation. You can estimate that you will pay fifteen percent of your profit in taxes.
