An S Corporation election may provide meaningful tax benefits for the right business, but eligibility, timing, and a properly completed Form 2553 matter.
An eligible LLC or corporation can ask the IRS to be taxed as an S Corporation. The election changes how the business is treated for federal tax purposes; it does not create a new entity or replace the laws governing the business in its state.
Chris helps owners understand whether an election appears appropriate, when it should take effect, and what must be submitted to the IRS. The goal is a focused, properly documented federal filing—not unnecessary complexity.
Because this limited engagement concerns the federal S Corporation election, qualifying businesses throughout the United States may request the service without a California nexus.
Why timing matters
Form 2553 generally must be filed within a specific federal window. The desired effective date, when the entity began operating, and prior federal filings can affect the correct approach. A missed deadline does not always end the inquiry because federal late-election relief may be available.
Who may qualify
Many domestic LLCs and corporations can qualify, but the entity’s ownership, ownership rights, tax classification, and filing history matter. Chris reviews those federal requirements before preparing the election.

The standard $495 flat fee includes the focused attorney consultation. You do not pay a separate $200 consultation fee for a standard election.
If preliminary review shows that additional analysis is needed, Chris may offer a $200 consultation before quoting the engagement. That fee will be credited toward a related late-election engagement if you retain the firm within 30 days.
