Flat · 21%+4 regimes
Federal: a C corporation is a separate taxpayer at 21 percent of taxable income (IRS corporations page and Form 1120 instructions). Nevada (read 15 Oct 2026): tax.nv.gov states 'The Commerce Tax is imposed on businesses with a Nevada state gross revenue exceeding $4 million per fiscal year' (NRS 363C.200; a gross-revenue tax at 0.051 to 0.331 percent of revenue above $4,000,000 by business category, NRS 363C.310-363C.560), and NRS 363B.110 imposes a payroll excise tax of 1.475 percent of wages above $50,000 a quarter. No page read states whether Nevada levies any tax on net profit, so no state profit layer is recorded.
Quote
Multiply taxable income (page 1, line 30) by 21% (0.21).
