File your S-Corp election the right way. On time, with CP 261 confirmation.
Form 2553 is the IRS election that converts an LLC or C-Corp to S-Corp taxation. The form has tight deadlines: file within 75 days of formation, or within 2 months and 15 days of the start of the tax year you want the election to take effect. Miss the window and you need late-election relief under Rev. Proc. 2013-30. We file the form, track for CP 261 acknowledgement, and handle late-election relief if you missed the deadline.

Eligibility check
We confirm the entity is eligible: domestic, 100 or fewer shareholders, only US individuals (or eligible trusts and estates) as shareholders, one class of stock, and not in a prohibited category.
Deadline calculation
We calculate the exact deadline for your entity. New LLCs have 75 days from formation. Existing entities switching mid-year file by 2 months 15 days into the desired tax year.
IRS submission
We prepare Form 2553 with all shareholder consents, file by fax or mail (the only allowed channels), and confirm receipt with the IRS Business Specialty Tax Line.
