Your next deadline
For a calendar-year business electing for 2027, the deadline is March 15, 2027. You can file at any time during 2026 for a 2027 effective date. There is no extension. How the deadline is calculated.
Before you send it
- Sign and date page 1 by hand. The IRS did not make those boxes fillable, so they cannot be typed.
- Have every owner sign and date Column K on page 2. A typed name is not a consent, and a missing one is the most common rejection reason.
- Print in black and white — black text faxes far more reliably than color.
- Make a complete copy for your records before sending.
- If mailing, send the original rather than a photocopy, and use certified mail with return receipt.

Faxing is faster and gives you an immediate transmission report. Certified mail with return receipt gives you dated proof of filing, which is stronger evidence if the IRS later says it never arrived. Keep whichever proof you get — it is the only thing that establishes your filing date. If you mail it, send the original rather than a photocopy.

Does Mississippi need anything beyond the federal election?
S corps are exempt from Mississippi income tax by statute but DO pay Mississippi franchise tax on capital, with a $25 minimum. Composite and electing-PTE returns pay tax at the entity level. Mississippi automatically recognizes your federal S election, and the statute is explicit about it: Miss. Code Ann. § 27-7-5(2) provides that "An S corporation, as defined in Section 27-8-3(1)(g), shall not be subject to the income tax imposed under this…
How long does the IRS take to respond?
The IRS says to expect Notice CP261 within about 60 days. It does not publish a live processing estimate for Form 2553, so treat that as its stated expectation rather than a guarantee. If nothing arrives, call 800-829-4933 with your proof of filing.
