What is Form 8832?

Form 8832 is how an eligible entity elects (or changes) its federal tax classification. An LLC, for example, can elect to be taxed as a C corporation, or revert to its default (partnership for multi-member, disregarded for single-member). It captures the entity's name and EIN, the type of election, the requested effective date (with the 75-day/12-month rule), and consent of owners. It's often filed alongside Form 2553 when an LLC wants S-corp treatment. Because the election changes how the business is taxed, the type and effective date must be right. JustFill lets you complete the 8832 online so each box is clear before filing.
