To determine if your corporation is an S corporation or a C corporation, you need to check with the IRS. S corporations have specific eligibility requirements and must file Form 2553 to elect S corporation status. C corporations are the default classification for corporations that do not elect S corporation status.

What is the difference between a c corp and a s corp?

C vs S is an election made by a corporation in regards to how it wants to be taxed. A C corporation files a tax return and pays tax based on corporate tax rates. An S corporation files a tax return; however, the profit or loss passes through to the owner or partners personal tax return and tax is paid at the personal rate. Obviously, only a private closely held corporation can elect S status. The state tax treatment for an S-corp may be different than the federal treatment. You could have a corporation which has elected S status for federal taxes and C status for state taxes. The subchapter-S election is merely a tax classification, not a legal entity formation difference.
