What is an "S Corporation"?

An "S Corporation" is a business entity (either a corporation or a limited liability company) that has elected to be taxed under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. It is important to note that the term "S Corporation" is a shorthand way of describing a business entity's tax status, since an "S Corporation" can be organized as either a corporation or a limited liability company under state law.
