New Mexico C Corporation: When incorporating in New Mexico, all New Mexico corporations formed by default are “C” corporations. A New Mexico C corporation is a New Mexico corporation that has not made an election to be an “S” corporation. The term C corporation is specifically used because the entity is taxed under subsection C of the IRS code. New Mexico C corporations are taxed at two levels (“double taxation”). This means that the corporation itself pays its own tax when it makes money (the first tax). The owners or shareholders are then taxed again when they are paid a salary or dividend by the corporation (the second tax). Despite double taxation, New Mexico C corporations offer many planning and benefit opportunities. New Mexico S Corporation: A New Mexico S corporation is a corporation that has made an election with the IRS to be treated for tax purposes as a “pass-through entity.” This means that corporate profits and losses are passed through to the shareholders (owners) who report them on their own personal tax returns and pay the tax at the individual level. The corporation pays no federal income tax at the corporate level. New Mexico S corporations are not subject to the double taxation C corporations encounter. The State of New Mexico recognizes federal S corporation status. These are the 3 main advantages of forming a New Mexico S corporation:- No double taxation: One of the main advantages of New Mexico S corporation status is that it avoids the double taxation that occurs with a regular New Mexico C corporation. In a New Mexico C corporation, the corporation pays income tax on its profits and, if those profits are distributed to shareholders, the shareholders pay income tax on the distribution.
- Loss deductions: The availability of losses. Shareholders of a New Mexico S corporation generally may deduct their share of the corporation’s net operating loss on their individual tax returns in the year the loss occurs. Losses of a New Mexico C corporation, however, may offset only the corporation’s earnings.
- Self-employment tax savings: By electing S corporation status, only the earnings actually paid out to you as salary are subject to payroll taxes; money left in the business is not subject to payroll taxes or self-employment tax. All income passes through, but its tax status depends on whether it is classified as salary or ordinary income.
