What Is Corporate Income Tax? 

Corporate income tax is a state tax on business profits. These taxes are separate from federal taxes. If your company is incorporated or does business in a state, you may need to register, file returns, and pay income tax annually. Some states combine corporate income tax with privilege, franchise, or business activity taxes.
