-A total of nearly 3.3 million S corporation returns were filed for tax year 2003, an increase of 5.9% from tax year 2002. S corporations continue to be the single most popular corporate entity choice representing 61.9% of all corporate entities. The number of shareholders for S corporations increased to nearly 5.8 million, up 2.9% from the previous year. Total net income (less deficit) reported by S corporations increased to $213.7 billion for tax year 2003 from $183.5 billion reported for tax year 2002. Positive total net income was reported by 62.7% of all S corporations. Total assets increased $169.9 billion to $2,186.6 billion for tax year 2003. Less than one quarter of 1% of all S corporations reported federal tax liability, for a total tax liability of $380.9 million.
-A total of 123,205 split-interest trust information returns were filed in filing year 2004, an increase of 1.6% from filing year 2003. The largest group of trusts, charitable remainder unitrusts (CRUTs), increased by 1,958 returns from the previous filing year.
