Not necessarily. If your business qualifies for late-election relief, the IRS may recognize your S corp election from the date you originally intended. Generally, you must request relief within three years and 75 days of that date.

I can compare your filings with what the IRS has on record, determine whether late-election relief applies, and handle the request and any return corrections needed.

If you missed the deadline or your S corp return was rejected, send me a message. Let’s find out what happened and get the right filings in place.

Yes, we can review a return you’ve already filed, even if someone else prepared it, to check for deductions or credits you may have missed.

If we find something, we can amend your return to claim what was missed.

It won’t apply in every situation. But if something looks off on one of your past returns, schedule an appointment and we can review it with you.

If you started running owner W-2 payroll and filing S Corp tax returns before getting official IRS approval, a denial gets you into a compliance mess.

Because the IRS rejected your late election, they put your business back to its original tax classification:
• Single-member LLCs revert to sole proprietorships (where owner W-2 paychecks aren't allowed).
• Incorporated entities revert to traditional C corporations.

Now, your accounting, payroll, and personal taxes are completely out of sync with what the IRS has on file.

To fix it, you have to compare the cost of fighting the rejection versus unwinding the mess.

Getting retroactive S corp status fixes your business tax classification, but it doesn't erase back penalties.

To the IRS, these are two completely separate files:
• 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗹 fixes 𝘸𝘩𝘰 you are for tax purposes (granting you retroactive S corp status from the date you intended).
• 𝗜𝗥𝗦 𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 are triggered by 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 (filing tax returns late, missing payroll tax deposits, or paying late).

Approving one does not automatically cancel the other.

The good news is, you can still request separate penalty abatement to get those IRS fines taken care of.

No, federal approval doesn't necessarily mean your state will recognize the same S corp treatment.

That’s because your federal election and your state tax treatment are separate. Some states follow the federal election automatically, while others require their own election, filing, or payment.

So after your federal election is approved, let us help check your state’s rules to see whether anything else still needs to be filed or corrected.

Start with one small move:
• Cancel a subscription you forgot about.
• Sell something around the house you’re not using.
• Pick up a little extra work this month (and set aside part of what you earn for taxes).

If payments toward an IRS tax debt are stretching your budget, message us. We can review your payment options and see whether one fits your situation better.
