What if I haven't received notification back from the IRS after I submitted form 2553?

Question

In January 2007, I submitted form 2553. Now I must file taxes for 2007 (I filed an extension), and my accountant is asking for files that the IRS was suppose to send back to me — "copy of sub-s election letter from the IRS" However, I never got any files back from the IRS last year, any help?

Answer 1

When you filed the form 2553, you did mail it certified/return receipt requested, right?

It can take the IRS 60-90 days to process the form.  That time has expired.  Call the IRS, ask for business accounts and ask them what the system shows as your filing requirement.  If it's not an 1120s, you'll know the IRS didn't process the form.
