Thanks for responding. Yes, it's been incredibly frustrating. I do have "some" answers on this that I should have included.
I sent the form to file for S-Corp in Jan 2022 via Fax with confirmation of acceptance. In June, I received a letter from the IRS stating our signatures weren't valid and we needed to resend the form in again. I responded that they were, indeed, valid signatures but I would send the same form in with new signatures (this was probably where mistakes were made). In NOVEMBER, I received another letter from IRS telling me our S-Corp status will not start until Jan '23 because "I didn't turn the form in its allotted time for 2022". I sent another letter contesting this with proof I sent the form in January and have yet to hear back. I have been unable to get anyone on the phone about this. Today is my first day of diving into our taxes and realizing what a mess this might actually be. I will obviously be going to a tax professional once our W-2s are issued and best-case scenario; the IRS will fix this. But if there is any insight on this forum before either one happens, I would love to hear it. I'm deeply stressed and frustrated by this whole situation.
Thanks again!
