The C corporation is the standard (or default) corporation under IRS rules. The S corporation is a corporation that has elected a special tax status with the IRS and therefore has some tax advantages. Both business structures get their names from the parts of the Internal Revenue Code that they are taxed under.
Because of the one-class-of-stock restriction, an S corporation cannot allocate losses or income to specific shareholders. Allocation of income and loss is governed by stock ownership, unlike partnerships or LLCs taxed as partnerships where the allocation can be set in the partnership agreement or operating agreement.
The biggest difference between S corporations and LLCs is how they are taxed. S corporations are taxed as pass-through entities, meaning that the profits and losses are passed through to the shareholders' personal tax returns, while LLCs can choose to be taxed as either a pass-through entity or a corporation.
Not every state recognizes the federal S Corp election, but Illinois does. In the state of Illinois, your federal S Corp will be taxed as an S Corp for state tax purposes, as well. You don't have to file separately to have your S Corp recognized in the state. Your IRS S Corp election is sufficient.
