C和S如果说的是C Corp和S Corp更加类似一种税务概念
LLC默认是按照合伙人组织报税，也就是pass through
但是你可以选择用C的形式来给LLC报税，这样就是double tax
严格的你要去问会计

Can a Resident Alien, Work Visa holder form a Business Entity in US?
Most of the resident or non-resident aliens who are aspiring to start a busi
ness in US have questions on their eligibility of doing so. The most common
question comes to their mind is with their current visa status, can they inc
orporate a business entity like a Corporation or LLC? Here are the answers…
.
A resident or non resident alien can form a business entity in US however it
depends on the entity types, and subject to fulfillment of immigration requ
irements.
For instance H1 and H-1B visa holders who work for a company can form a busi
ness entity in US however they cannot receive salary from the same entity. T
hey cannot form an employee employer relationship with any other entity unti
l they get a petition from the current employer to work with other companies
and get their H1 or H-1B issued from the new entity. However, the new entit
y should be eligible to do so.
F1 Visa holders can also create a business entity, but need to form in the n
ame of the person who has a valid visa. They can make investments in the bus
iness and can share profits.
An individual with a valid EAD can also start a business and work. EAD allow
s one to work as an employee and collect salary from the company.
The important point to note here is that a resident or non-resident alien ca
n form LLC, C Corporation but not S Corporation. A shareholder of S Corporat
ion must be either US citizen or a Green Card holder. The best way to determ
ine the type of entity and the incorporation process is to consult www.mybiz
filer.com or an attorney.
As a conclusion it can be said that best way one can benefit from a business
with out having GC or EAD is to become an owner, employer, investor and der
ive profits even though by not having physical presence in US!.
