Should You Form An “S” Corporation in Nevada? Or Form a “C” Corporation in Nevada?

A Nevada corporation is an artificial person or legal entity created by or under the authority of the laws of a state or nation. This organization is authorized by the laws under which it was created to engage in any legal activity similar to behavior permitted individuals.

However, the corporation is seen as a separate personality and existence which is distinct from that of its several members, and which is by the same authority, vested with the capacity of continuous succession.

A state of Nevada corporation is a dynamic entity when organized to engage in business. Its use provides a measure of control, flexibility and often a means by which to capitalize the company.

Form a “C” Corporation in Nevada?

How the state of Nevada corporation is to be taxed is a principle consideration in electing to treat the corporation as a "C" or "S" corporation. The "C" corporation with Nevada corporate headquarters is taxed as a corporation and treated as an entity with limited liability for the owners, officers, and directors.

Form an “S” Corporation in Nevada?

"S" corporations with Nevada corporate headquarters permit some liability of the owners, officers and directors and the profits pass to the individual(s) owners personal 1040 tax returns where they are taxed based upon the owner's tax bracket. "S" corporations operate on the calendar year as compared to the "C" corporation's fiscal year.


There are advantages and disadvantages to each "election" of either "C" or "S." The advise of a tax profession is recommended before deciding which kind of corporation is best suited for your intended use.
