8. Are there differences between LLCs and corporations?

Technically, all entities are Limited Liability entities, but these entities are commonly differentiated as C Corporations, S Corporations and LLCs. The primary differences are the ways that income and taxes are assessed. C Corporations tax company income and then also tax income disbursed to owners. S Corporations and LLC’s both have options in terms of how income is taxed, but generally assign the company’s income to the owners for taxation purposes. To determine the best form of entity for your business, speak with our referred tax professionals to see which type is the right form of entity for your investments or business.
