How it compares
| Option | Price | The fine print |
|---|---|---|
| Do it yourself | Free | The IRS charges nothing — fax or mail Form 2553 per the official instructions (linked in our guides). Budget the consent rules, the right service center, and keeping your own proof of timely transmission. |
| SCorpDesk — timely | $149 | Form 2553 prepared from a ten-minute intake, every shareholder consent handled, fax-filed to the correct IRS center the same business day — with your timestamped transmission receipt and tracking until the CP261 acceptance arrives. |
| SCorpDesk — late election | $249 | Everything in the standard filing, plus the Rev. Proc. 2013-30 late-election package: the required top-margin legend and a reasonable-cause statement prepared from your facts, filed within the 3-year-75-day relief window. |
| Your CPA's office | $300–500+ | Perfectly good — usually billed as part of a broader engagement, on their timeline. The right answer when your situation is genuinely complex. |
| S-corp back-office platforms | $200–300/mo | Collective-style subscriptions bundle the election into payroll + bookkeeping. Great if you want the whole package; expensive if you just need the filing done now. |
Pricing questions
Which one do I need?
If today is within 2 months and 15 days of your tax-year start, timely. Past that, the late package — the free deadline checker gives you your exact window and dates.
What if the IRS rejects the election?
If a filing we prepared is rejected for a preparation error, the service fee comes back in full. That's the point of us.
Are there hidden fees?
No. The IRS charges nothing for Form 2553; our fee is the entire cost, shown before payment.
