Does an S Corp file its own tax return?

How is income generated by a S corporation taxed?
S corporations are subject to single level taxation. Income generated by the corporation is typically not taxed at the corporate level; it is distributed among the shareholders and reported on individual tax returns for payment of tax due on their share of the S corporation’s earnings.
What happens to retained earnings of a S corporation?
This means the rights to the distribution of retained earnings is reflected not by an agreement as it is with a partnership, but by the number of shares owned by a stockholder. Section 1368 notes the distribution by an S corporation of property or cash may result in three distinct tax consequences to the shareholder receiving the distribution.
When do s Corp’s not pay dividends to shareholders?
S corporations, in general, do not make dividend distributions. They do make tax-free non-dividend distributions unless the distribution exceeds the shareholder’s stock basis.
