S-corporations typically are not subject to a corporate level tax. An S-corporation's profits and losses generally "pass-through" to its stockholders who then report their respective shares of these items on their individual income tax returns (Form 1040). S-corporations also provide their stockholders with a unique tax minimization strategy - the "dividend/salary split."
The Colorado Corporations and Associations Act (the "CCAA") regulates the authority of foreign entities to transact business or conduct activities in Colorado. A "foreign entity" includes an entity formed under the laws of another state. For example, an entity formed under the laws of Delaware would be considered a foreign entity.
