Best Answer

Assuming you refer to a C-corporation, the major difference is the tax treatment of revenue/expenses and profit.

The C-corporation is taxed at corporate tax rates whereas the LLC passes to its Managing Members all of its profits. The individual Managing Member is taxed at personal tax rates.

There may or may not be other advantages of one over the other; for example, liability.

What is the difference in S-Corps and LLC?

An LLC is better than an S corporation under some circumstances. In other circumstances, an S corporation is the better choice. In fact an LLC can elect to be treated as an S corporation, if it meets the statutory requirements for an S corporation. An S corporation has more restrictions that a limited liability company: * It must not have more than 100 shareholders. * Its shareholders must be U.S. citizens or U.S. residents, and they must be generally be individuals (with some very limited exceptions). * It must have only one class of stock. * Its profits and losses must be allocated to shareholders proportionately to each shareholder's interest in the business. For a growing business, an S corporation offers much less flexibility. But there are some areas, such as FICA taxes which are payable on the income of members of an LLC but not on profits of an S corporation, that favor an S corporation.

How do you make entry if owner draws money from company?

If the owner intends to pay back the money: Dr. Accounts Receivable and Cr. Cash. If the owner does not intend to pay it back but the company owes the owner money: Dr. Loan/P to Owner and Cr. Cash If the owner does not intend to pay it back and the company does not owe the owner money: Dr. Retained Earnings and Cr. Cash This would either be considered a dividend or a distribution, depending on the structure of the company (corporation vs. partnership vs. LLC vs. sole proprietorship) Alternately, it could be treated as Net Pay.
