Foreign corporation

A foreign corporation is one which is not organized under the laws of one of the states or territories or of the United States. Taxation of a foreign corporation depends on whether or not its income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. Special rules apply to United States shareholders of certain controlled foreign corporations.
