I don't believe any special language is needed. Just> I need to file a statement with another 2553 explaining the > reason. The reason is they timely filed they're own, but > forgot the officer's signature. When they got a letter back > from the IRS with 30 days to reply, it got set aside and > passed between the owners, until someone brought it in to us > too late. Now,after a phone call, the IRS wants a 2553 > "Filed Persuant to Rev. Proc. 2003-43." Has anyone had this > situation? What language did you use? explain to the IRS what you explained to the group. The IRS has allowed elections for far better reasons such as: - Gave it to secretary to file, and secretary filed it in the filing cabinet - Accountants thought attorneys were going to file, attorneys thought accountants were going to file I haven't seen a "dog ate it", but it might work. I just got an acceptance letter back from the IRS for a Qsub election that was filed about 30 days late under the rev proc. We just explained that there were so many things going on with the purchase of the entities that the accountants and attorneys just forgot, and that the client reasonably relied on the professionals. That was enough reasonable cause for them.

| Relief for late S Corp election under Rev. Proc. 2003-43 Help me out, please. I've got an S Corp with late election. I need to file a statement with another 2553 explaining the reason. The reason is they timely filed they're own, but forgot the officer's signature. When they got a letter back from the IRS with 30 days to reply, it got set aside and passed between the owners, until someone brought it in to us too late. Now,after a phone call, the IRS wants a 2553 "Filed Persuant to Rev. Proc. 2003-43." Has anyone had this situation? What language did you use? Thanks, Rob << -------------------------------------------------> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting > << messages to this newsgroup are at www.asktax.org > << -------------------------------------------------> |
