Form 2553, Election by a Small Business Corporation, is filed with the IRS to elect S-corporation tax status, so business income passes through to shareholders instead of being taxed at the corporate level. It lists the corporation's details, the effective date, the tax year, and the signed consent of every shareholder. With JustFill you upload the blank IRS 2553 PDF, the AI detects each field, and you complete and download it free to file by mail or fax.
Form 2553 makes the S-corporation election for an eligible corporation or LLC. S-corp status lets profits and losses pass through to the owners' personal returns, avoiding corporate-level tax, and can reduce self-employment tax for active owners. Every shareholder must consent, and the form must be filed within strict deadlines (generally within 2 months and 15 days of the start of the tax year the election takes effect, with late-election relief available). JustFill lets you complete the 2553 and its shareholder-consent lines online so nothing is missed.
The official Form 2553 PDF and instructions are free to download from the IRS at irs.gov. Open the blank PDF in JustFill to type the corporation and shareholder details on screen, then download the completed election to mail or fax to the IRS.
