Thanks! Unfortunately CPA's and lawyers read from the same tax code that I do and they haven't been able to answer the questions I've had for them in the past (so I'm on my own, plus you guys 😉 ). The IRS isn't some scary government entity, they are nice people (when you aren't trying to break the law). Since the rules say they had 60 days to respond to the 2553 I should be in the clear and be able to argue the case. Especially after following their guidance to not file a 1120s until I am accepted (told me this in December 2021, January 2022 and February 2022), with no mention of filing an extension for the first year. Wish me luck! It would have been best on their part to reject my 2021 1040 schedule C and send a letter stating that this entity (EIN) is taxed as a s corp 😕 Lots of gray areas here. Truly appreciate input from all!
