Your S corporation handles profits differently from traditional corporations. Here's what makes it special: Rather than keeping a standard retained earnings account, S corporations use something called an Accumulated Adjustments Account (AAA) to track profits that haven't been distributed to shareholders.
S corporations that have accumulated E&P are required to maintain an accumulated adjustments account (“AAA”). The AAA generally represents the earnings of the S corporation that have been previously taxed but not yet distributed to shareholders.
