Despite Warnings, It is Not Too Late to Form an S Corp in 2007

Despite warnings of a March 15 deadline to elect S corp status with the Internal Revenue Service, it is not too late to form an S corp in 2007.

Corporations that wish to be taxed as S corps in order to obtain "pass-through" tax treatment are required to make the special tax classification election by filing IRS Form 2553 with the Internal Revenue Service. The election must be made "before the 16th day of the third month" of the tax year in which the election is to take effect. For most corporations, this means that Form 2553 should have been filed with the IRS no later than March 15 in order to obtain tax treatment as an S corp this year.

"If the form is filed and accepted by the IRS after March 15, the S corp status will not take effect until next year," said Chrissie Mould, Senior Incorporation Specialist at online incorporation service company MyNewVenture.com, "and any would-be S corp that has not filed the form by the deadline will be taxed as a regular "C" corporation--with taxable income subject to corporate income tax rates--this year. "
