FAQ

About the Form 8832 filler.

What does the $9 Blank tier include?
Yes. The blank Form 8832 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 (handling the entity-classification logic correctly), print and mail it, or submit it to the IRS by fax on your behalf.
What is Form 8832 used for?
Form 8832 lets an eligible entity (typically a multi-member LLC or partnership) elect its federal tax classification - usually to be taxed as a C-Corporation. Most LLCs that want S-Corp treatment file Form 8832 FIRST (to become a corp for federal tax purposes), then Form 2553 (to layer the S-Corp election on top).
What is the difference between Form 8832 and Form 2553?
Form 8832 is for INITIAL classification (or changing classification) - usually LLC → C-Corp for federal tax. Form 2553 is specifically for the S-Corporation election. If your goal is S-Corp status, the typical path is Form 8832 then Form 2553; the IRS also allows a single Form 2553 in certain circumstances. Our $199 e-file tier handles either path.
Can Form 8832 be e-filed?
No. Form 8832 must be filed by fax or mail to the IRS service center for your state. Our $99 Instant e-file tier accepts your filled form, forwards by secure fax to the correct IRS service center the same hour, and tracks for the IRS acceptance notice.
When does the election become effective?
The effective date can be up to 75 days before the filing date (retroactive) or up to 12 months after (prospective). Most newly-formed LLCs elect with an effective date matching formation; existing entities usually elect prospectively from January 1.
What if I miss the 75-day window?
Rev. Proc. 2009-41 provides late-election relief if you file Form 8832 within 3 years and 75 days of the desired effective date and you can show reasonable cause. Check the "Late election relief" box on Section 4 and we will help you draft the reasonable-cause statement in the $199 tier.
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. EIN data is never transmitted in the free tier.
