Steps to Apply for S Corporation Status
What if I missed the S Corporation Deadline?
Well, there’s always next year! Where a corporation fails to timely file its IRS Form 2553 with the IRS, the S Corporation election will NOT be effective for that year, Thus, the corporation will be taxed as a C Corporation.
The good news: a late S Corporation election is generally effective for the next tax year. However, relief for a late election may be available if the corporation can show that the failure to file on time was due to reasonable cause.
