A C-Corp and an S-Corp are common corporate forms with different tax and governance implications.

A C-Corp is a separate entity that files its own tax return and pays corporate taxes; an S-Corp allows income to pass through to owners for tax purposes while meeting eligibility rules.
Key steps include selecting a corporate name, filing articles of incorporation, adopting bylaws, issuing stock, and maintaining ongoing compliance.
Important terms include articles of incorporation, bylaws, stock classifications, and the S election.
The document filed with the state to create a corporation.
A tax status that allows income to pass through to shareholders for tax purposes, avoiding corporate-level tax if eligibility criteria are met.
Internal rules governing how the corporation is run.
A document outlining ownership and rights of shareholders.
