Optional add-ons

Add only what your filing needs

Each add-on is priced separately and can be added before we prepare your form.

Certified mailing with return receipt

$49

We mail your election by USPS Certified Mail with return receipt so you hold dated proof the IRS received it — the evidence that matters if the election is ever questioned.

Late election relief statement

$99

Reasonable-cause statement drafted under Rev. Proc. 2013-30 for elections filed after the deadline, written to your specific facts.

Expedited 1-business-day preparation

$99

Your form is prepared and returned to you the next business day instead of the standard turnaround — useful when the March 15 deadline is close.

Additional shareholder consents (beyond 5)

$15 each

For entities with more than five owners, each additional shareholder consent is prepared and tracked.

EIN application (Form SS-4)

$99

For a newly formed entity that does not yet have an Employer Identification Number, which Form 2553 requires.

Form 8832 entity classification election

$99

Only needed in the narrow cases where a separate classification election is required alongside or instead of the S election.

Filing status follow-up

$79

If the IRS has not responded within roughly 60 days, we help you follow up and re-send documentation as needed.

Good to know

Government fees: the IRS does not charge a filing fee for Form 2553. Our fee covers preparation, review, and filing support only.
Turnaround: standard preparation is a few business days from the time we have your complete information and all shareholder details.
Acceptance: the IRS issues a CP261 notice, generally within about 60 days. Timing is controlled by the IRS, not by us.
