Double taxation refers to the taxation of the same income at two different levels, typically at the corporate and individual levels. This often occurs when income is taxed once at the corporate level and again at the shareholder level when dividends are distributed.
A Subchapter S Corporation (S Corp) is a special designation that corporations can elect to avoid double taxation, allowing income, deductions, and credit to be passed through to shareholders.
