Late Filing of Form 2553

[Naveen Mohan from New York]

I have a client who was a C corporation upto 12/31/2016 and he wanted to become an  S corporation effective 01/01/2017. However he has just advised me that he never got around filing his form 2553 and he will not be have his tax data ready until September. He wants me to take care of his Sub chapter S classification now if possible.

The question I have is:

 

This is going to be his first 1120 S return. Should I simply include his form 2553 with his return in September or should I file his paperwork now under Revenue procedure 2013-30 and include the all accompanying paperwork from each shareholder?

Thanks for your help.

You are suppose to file the 2553 now and with the tax return.

And every time I've done that, the client gets a letter saying 'you already filed the 2553'.

Better than a letter saying "huh?  where's the 1120?  why are you sending this 1120-S?"

So true!
