Audio Transcript
Travis: That S–Corp declaration needs to be filed at the same time as your corporation or can you file that at any time?
Jake: You file that after. You have 75 days after the formation of the corporation to file that document.
Travis: OK. I assume that is something that LegalZoom will handle for you if you want to file an S–Corp., correct?
Jake: Yes, if you want us to file the S–Corp. obtainment, we can definitely file that for you. We know what the IRS requires. We also know to where it needs to be sent. Because depending on where you are in the country it gets sent to a different location.
Travis: Oh, wow.
Jake: So you've got to make sure it gets sent to the right location. We usually send everything via return receipt so we know that the IRS gets it. Then if they ever say that they didn't you have proof that yes, they signed for it. So that backs up your claim that you did receive it and it should be considered as an S–Corporation.
