FAQ

About the Form 2553 filler.

What does the $9 Blank tier include?

Yes. The blank Form 2553 PDF is the official IRS form; you can download it for $9 (official IRS form, file yourself). The paid tiers add convenience: we fill it from your inputs, print and mail it to you, or submit it to the IRS by fax on your behalf.

Can Form 2553 be e-filed?

Form 2553 cannot be e-filed through the standard IRS e-file system. The IRS accepts Form 2553 only by fax or mail. Our $199 tier submits by fax (the fastest IRS-accepted channel) and tracks for CP 261 acknowledgement.

What happens after I pay for the filled download?

You get an instant download link for the filled Form 2553 as a PDF, signed-ready. Print it, sign it, and mail or fax to the IRS service center for your state.

What if I make a mistake after downloading?

Come back to this page and fix the inputs. We save your progress in your browser. Re-download for free within 30 days of the original purchase.

Is my data saved?

Your inputs autosave to your browser (localStorage) so you can come back later. No data goes to our servers until you choose a paid tier and pay. SSNs are never transmitted in the free tier.

What if I missed the 75-day deadline?

The filler still works for late elections under Rev. Proc. 2013-30. Check the late-election box on Section 3 and we will help you draft the required reasonable-cause statement at the $99 instant e-file tier.

How does the instant e-file work?

Our IRS-authorized e-file portal accepts your filled Form 2553 the moment you submit. Because the IRS accepts Form 2553 only by fax or mail (not their standard MeF e-file), our portal forwards by secure fax the same hour and tracks for CP 261 acknowledgement. From your perspective: one click, instant submission. For other federal forms that are MeF-eligible, the portal submits directly through MeF.
