What is the difference between an S-Corp and an LLC in Florida?

Should my business be an S Corp or C-corp?

What is better LLC or corporation?
Forming an LLC or a corporation will allow you to take advantage of limited personal liability for business obligations. LLCs are favored by small, owner-managed businesses that want flexibility without a lot of corporate formality. Corporations are a good choice for a business that plans to seek outside investment.
How do I know if I have an S Corp or C Corp?

What is an C corporation in Florida?
A C-Corporation has a corporate income tax rate of 21%. Florida C-Corporation owners must file both personal income and business taxes separately. You—as a shareholder, will be taxed on your earnings and your C-Corporation on its profits.
What is S Corp vs C Corp?
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.
