A S Corporation is one of the many forms of corporation that can be created by a new or existing business. The primary reason some businesses choose the S Corporation form is for a tax benefit sometimes called carry-over or roll-over. This benefit allows the S Corporation to carry forward losses from one tax year into the next and succeeding tax years cumulatively for up to seven years. Businesses that expect to lose money in the first few years of operation often choose to form an S Corporation so they can carry forward business losses and use them to protect against taxes in the year that they finally do earn profits. S corporation regulation do impose certain limitations over how the business is organized, who can be involved and how the accounting is done that other types of corporation do not have to deal with. For that reason, before choosing to form an S corporation it is wise to consult with an experienced lawyer and a tax professional.
