How the paper check works
- Name the paper in handAbout a minute. Certificate, menu, or the letter the IRS sent.
- Pick a video timeHave the certificate and any IRS letter open if you can.
- Leave with two linesWhat the state formed, and how the IRS taxes it, said separately.
A menu is not an election
We will not treat a software setting as proof. If the acceptance is missing, the company is whatever the papers that do exist already say.
Some owners need an election. Some already have one and cannot find it. Some should leave the status alone. The call says which, from the folder.
Steven Palmieri is a Tax CFO and the Entrepreneur's CFO. The practice is not a CPA firm and does not sign audit or assurance reports.
Start the free checkQuestions people ask first
Is the paper check free?
Yes. The call costs nothing and nothing is signed. If paid work follows, the price comes before it starts.
Can the menu make me an S corp?
No. Only the letter the IRS sent does that. A dropdown, a prior return, and a hope are clues, not proof.
Who looks at the papers?
Steven Palmieri, on a video call. Matching the certificate to the IRS letter is ordinary work for a Tax CFO, and the practice is not a CPA firm.
What if the names do not match?
We stop. A spelling drift between the state and the IRS is reconciled on paper before any account is recoded.
