Is an S-Corp a type of company?

Incorporation & entity structure

No. It is a tax election, not an entity type. The underlying company is still a corporation or an LLC, and its legal form does not change.

That distinction matters because people say "we set up an S-Corp" when they mean they formed a corporation and then elected S treatment on Form 2553.

Check your EIN confirmation letter (CP 575) first. If that is gone, look at a previously filed tax return, a business bank account application, or any 1099 you have issued. Your bank or your payroll provider will also have it on file.
