Coastal Surgical Specialist Incorporated operates as an S corporation and does business as Coastal Surgical Institute (CSI). In business there are different types of corporations and an S corporation, which is often referred to as an S Corp, is a unique type of corporation created through an IRS tax election (S Corporation | The U.S. Small Business). This means that the owners (shareholders) of the corporation are protected from liability. Essentially, an S corporation 's shareholder 's personal assets cannot be seized to satisfy business liabilities, and an S corporation can avoid being taxed twice (taxing both the corporation and the shareholders). In addition, S corporation shareholders can be employees of the business and draw salaries as employees. These advantages to shareholders have helped to create a vested interest in CSI, which seems to be one of the structural keys to the organization 's overall success - there are multiple parties involved who want CSI to do well.
As a derivative of the C-corporation an S-corporation is subject to all of the same corporate formalities as the C-corporation and actually is not differentiated from the C-corporation under Texas law. This means that in Texas a corporation is founded without the designation of C or S because they are treated exactly the same inside the state. However, the difference between an S-corporation and a C-corporation under federal tax law is significant. The S-corporation is formed by making an election on IRS Form 2553 preventing taxation of profits at the corporate level (IRS, 2012b). The election to not be taxed at the corporate level by a corporation does not in any way effect the limited liability protections that the corporation has under Texas law. This exemption from corporate taxation does not mean that income is not taxed but rather that profits, credits, and deductions are automatically passed to stockholders of the corporation in the current year thereby eliminating any benefit accumulation of profits in the corporation. These pass through items are distributed to the shareholders based on the percent stock ownership of the business (Nitti, 2011).

The disadvantages are double taxation, the corporation’s earnings are taxed; and then when its after-tax earnings are paid out as dividends, those earnings are taxed again as personal income to the stockholders. Limited liability reduces the risks endure by investors; and other things held constant, the lower the firm’s risk, the higher its
In order for an informed decision to be made in regards to appropriate business structure for any business it is necessary to understand each business structure separately and any attempt to understand business structure must consider the C-corporation as a baseline against which to compare subsequent business structures. A C-corporation is a business organized as a separate entity from the owner or owners of the business that requires the observation of certain formalities. In Texas these formalities include adopting bylaws, maintaining a record of accounts, issuance of stock, recording the issuance and transference of stock, recording minutes of board of director and shareholder meetings, as well as maintaining a record of current and past shareholders (Tex. BOC § 21). It is important to remember that corporate formalities will require time and expense to maintain and every attempt should be made to comply with these requirements to protect the liability limitation of the corporation’s shareholders, officers, and owners.
