An S corporation, for United States federal income tax, is a closely held corporation that makes a valid election to be taxed under Subchapter S of Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, S corporations do not pay any income taxes.
Double taxation to corporate shareholders is a result of the corporation paying income taxes, then the shareholders paying income taxes on the dividends they receive. Since an S corporation does not pay income taxes as a business entity, the owners can avoid the double taxation issue.
An S corporation does not have retained earnings in the traditional sense and does not distribute dividends, since dividends are paid out of after-tax profits and the S corporation does not pay taxes.
