Get started
Start your Form 2553 filing.
Tell us about your business and where you are in the process. We'll follow up with what your election needs.
Deadline first
The election is generally due two months and 15 days into the tax year — March 15 for calendar-year businesses. Tell us your intended effective date and we'll confirm whether you're on time or need late election relief.
What we review
Eligibility, the requested effective date, shareholder consents, the tax year question in Part II, and the correct IRS service center for your state.
Independent service
Online 2553 is not the IRS and is not a law or accounting firm. For judgment calls specific to your facts, confirm with a qualified tax professional.
