A Corporation ("C Corp.") is a legal entity that is separate and distinct from its members and shareholders. A C Corp. enjoys perpetual life, unless expressly limited by law or the articles of incorporation.
C Corps have some very strong advantages:
Limited liability,
No restriction as to the number of shareholders,
Fewer problems with passive loss rules,
Favorable loss carry forward rules, and
liberal fringe benefit opportunities.
C Corps suffer from several drawbacks such as:
Two levels of taxation,
Subject to accumulated income tax, and
Pass-through of losses to investors is not available.
