	Legal Link 2, 1: Choosing Entity
		Because the proprietorship is not considered to be a separate legal entity, the proprietor merely reflects any gain or loss on Schedule C of the proprietor's personal IRS Form 1040.
		Furthermore, because C corporations, unlike partnerships or sole proprietorships (or S corporations), are treated as separate legal entities from their owners, a corporation has almost complete freedom in selecting its taxable year.
		One disadvantage of the corporate form is that a C corporation, as a legally separate entity, cannot pass the losses to its shareholders for use on their personal income tax returns in order to offset their other taxable income.
