Corporate Tax Lawyers in Crystal Lake

In Crystal Lake, Illinois, a "corporation" is defined as a legal entity that's separate from its owners. Thus, from a legal standpoint, the owner of a corporation and the corporation itself are not the same "person."

This system is sometimes called "corporate personhood" by Illinois lawyers. It means, in simple terms, that the law treats a corporation just as it would treat a human being - having most of the legal rights and duties that also apply to individuals.

As a prime example, corporations have to pay income taxes, just as a person would.
