NASSAUSUFFOLK

To all my colleagues

Help, a small biz S corp, 40 years in biz, and an S corp all those years, got an IRS letter saying it could not find a record of its 2553 election and claiming its status as an S corp is not valid.

The owner can't find any proof going back 40 years of the status as an S.

We have till 3/13 till the status as an S is voided.

What can I do to assist here?

Sincerely
Mike Jaffe

I would get a POA and call the IRS practitioner line.
The taxpayer has been filing for all these years as an S Corp. There may be relief similar to that under late filing of the election.

Michael,

Call the Practioner Priority Service 866-860-4529.  If they cannot help you (more than likely), call the Holtville Taxpayer Advocate 631-654-6687.  You must call PPS first, Before you call TAS.

To all my stressed colleagues:

Very old S elections, my client's was 1974, can be grandfathered by calling the unit in Utah which sends out the notices in the first place, very accomodating, resolved my client's issue, in 2 minutes, and didnt have to call PPS or TAS.

I have the same issue... 12 years filing as an S , Went through all the channels, to no avail...
took it to the symposium IRS people --  no help.
So it seems that the service operators  have discretion .    NYS penalties are mounting and the say they will fall in line with the feds for acceptance date. so then much is riding on the fed acceptance.
I was aware of that Entity dept in  Utah... but I was told you can not call there.

I will call the number you posted and report back.... but it is funny..... the disconnect and disparity you get from different Cust service reps in the IRS
