C corporations use Form 1120 to calculate their taxes due. S corporations use Form 1120S as an information return. S corporations must also prepare a form 10 K-1 for each shareholder to include with their individual returns.

Purpose of Form Use Form 1120-C, U.S. Income Tax Return for Cooperative Associations, to report income, gains, losses, deductions, credits, and to figure the income tax liability of the cooperative.

The C corporation is the standard (or default) corporation under IRS rules. The S corporation is a corporation that has elected a special tax status with the IRS and therefore has some tax advantages. Both business structures get their names from the parts of the Internal Revenue Code that they are taxed under.

An S corp's inherited passive income can be subject to tax. After conversion from a C corp, an S corporation can inherit income such as rent, interest, retained earnings, funds derived from stock sales, etc. Passive income that makes up more than 25% of an S corp's gross income is subject to tax.

As a certain type of small business corporation, an S corp offers many advantages in the form of tax benefits, liability protection, increased prestige, and generous retirement contribution limits. The main disadvantages are a fairly involved setup process and requirements that must be carefully followed.

Currently, filing Form 2553 is the only requirement to convert from a C corp to an S corp. File the form with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to change the tax election. All shareholders must sign the form.
