I thought all income types were taxed at the corporate level first, so I'm leaning towards C as well, but I wish I had more clarity on that.

I recall a practice question about capital gains and how they might be treated, but I can't remember if it's 50% or something else.

I feel like we discussed how dividends are taxed differently, but I'm not sure if that means they flow through 100%.

I think I remember that mutual funds as corporations don't pass through income directly to shareholders, so maybe it's C?
