If you don’t distribute a dividend then if the profit is in the C corp account after expenses, does this just get taxed at normal C corp tax rate?

The income left inside the C Corporation is taxed at the C Corp rate. That can be a good thing. For example, the first $50K is taxed at just 15%. If you’re currently paying at the new high personal tax rate of 39.6%, moving income from that rate to the C Corp means a savings of over $12,000.

Can you explain what you think the difference is with a C corporation at 15% and a C Corp that is treated as a personal services corporation, and taxed at 34%?

And how to avoid that pitfall if you are using a C Corp.

Thanks.
