Thea and her friends Josef and Danny, all U.S. citizens, want to open a nail salon. They would all like to avoid personal liability for debts of the business and/or wrongful acts of each other. They would also like to minimize taxation. Thea is in favor of a corporation and asks if there is any problem with that form of business. Josef and Danny say that they are concerned about double taxation with a corporation and that they are in favor of a partnership, even if personal liability is a concern. Thea said that she was concerned about the deductibility of losses if the corporate form was chosen. She did some research and suggested an S corporation to Josef and Danny which she claimed would avoid the problem of double taxation. Regarding the concerns of Josef and Danny about double taxation and Thea’s suggestion regarding an S corporation, which of the following is true?
