Stock must be that of a C corporation; stock of an S corporation can't qualify as QSBS for these purposes.
One of the primary differences is that C corporations are taxed at the corporate level with double taxation, while S corporations file IRS Form 1120S, and profits, losses, deductions, and credits pass through the entity level without corporate taxes.
