Changing Tax Year for S Corp

[Randall]

Can you change a tax year for an S Corp?  I thought they were required to use the calendar year.  Unless there's a good reason to use a different fiscal year.  I have a client asking.  I see Form 1128 but I haven't gone thru the reasons yet.  Does anyone have any experiences in this and is the procedure routine?  Or does IRS require a very good reason for approving?
