Trnr395 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Can I file form 2553 right now for a single member llc to be electing corp status for 2009? They are on a regular tax year ending dec. 31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelgilb Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Funny you should ask this now. Was just verifying all the correct steps, because we used to have to file form 8832 and 2553 together. Now the IRS allows us to do this with just the 2553. So in a nutshell - Yes. Must file the election within 2 months and 15 days of the beginning of the year per IRS, although it used to be 75 days not 2 mo and 15 days. Don't forget to explain the S-Corp rules to your client and the requirement to have some reasonable salary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
