A. Liability

2. Self-Employment Tax Break: Profits of the S-Corp which pass through to the shareholders are not subject to self-employment tax (Social Security and Medicare which is approximately 15%). Rather, self-employment is only taxed on the portion classified as a "reasonable salary". LLCs and sole-proprietorships must pay self-employment tax on all income. The ability to minimize self-employment tax is deemed to be one of the greatest benefits of a s-corporation.
3. Corporate Losses: losses in the corporation can be deducted from the individual tax returns of the shareholder thereby allowing them to offset other sources of income such as their W-2 income.

5. Distribution of Profits and Losses: No special allocation of profit and losses for shareholders. Corporate profits and losses must be split up proportionately to the percentage of shares owned by each shareholder.
