LLC plus S-Corp election, one order

The complete startup package: your LLC formed, your operating agreement template delivered, and IRS Form 2553 prepared and filed so the company is taxed as an S corporation from the start. Add your EIN for $50; the election needs one before it can be filed.

Included with this order$50IRS Form 2553 cannot be filed without an EIN, and a brand new company does not have one yet, so we obtain it as part of this order. The IRS charges nothing for the number itself; this is our fee for preparing and filing the application.

For your EIN application

The IRS asks these on Form SS-4. The company name, address and owners above are reused; nothing here is charged separately.

What happens once you pay

Filed with your state within one business day, with Form 2553 following your EIN
A specialist reads your order first. If anything looks wrong, we email you before filing, not after.
Rejected by the agency? We fix it and file again at no charge.
If we cannot get it filed at all, you get everything back, including the government fee.
Track it in your account with your email address. There is no password to invent.

State processing after that is the agency's queue, which runs from same day to a few weeks depending on where you are filing. We do not control it, so we do not promise a date for it.

I agree to the terms of service and understand FastBusinessFiling is a filing service, not a law firm, and does not provide legal or tax advice.

Payment is handled by Stripe. Nothing is filed until payment clears, and government fees are refunded in full if we cannot file.

Common questions

That depends on your profit, payroll, and state, and it is a question for your tax adviser; we do not give tax advice. Once you have decided, we handle the paperwork end to end.

No. The IRS charges nothing for a standard Form 2553 election. The $39 difference over plain formation covers preparing and filing the election.

No. An LLC electing S corporation treatment files Form 2553 only. This is a common and expensive point of confusion.

Other filings we handle

Fees and rules by state

Our fee is the same everywhere; the state's is not. Each page carries that state's figure, its own rules, and the date we checked it. LLC filing fees, all 51 states.

Comparing us with someone else?

Good. We keep dated comparisons against the four biggest services, with every figure linked to the page we read it on and an honest note about where each of them beats us.
