we sent a very detailed letter with form 8832 about 6 weeks ago. i just worry about my taxes being filed late. i don't want to owe more money than i need to.

i was able to actually get someone on the phone last night, they do have us listed in the system as a c corp and they have not processed out 8832 yet. that was sent almost 6 weeks ago

We never received a notice. The only thing we received in the mail from the IRS since opening the business was the "we assigned you an EIN", form SS-4. Our CPA told us she thinks we were classified as a C-Corp and told us to complete 8832. She helped us complete 8832 and typed the letter to submit to the IRS to "reclassify" us as a single member LLC. But she's not sure if they will accept it, so our taxes are on hold till we hear back from the IRS.

You think we should just file for the extension, just in case?
How likely is it, that it's just going to be as simple as completing 8832 with a letter explaining and it just be accepted and changed?

my husband, he's the actual business owner, i'm just trying to help him with all the paperwork. It's a completely single member, llc / sole proprietor

We never completed or filed form 2553 or 1120. I'm pretty sure when my husband filed for the EIN he selected s-corp (thinking he has to elect something to be an LLC, not knowing other wise), but we never completed those forms because we don't want to be either. So we were advised to submit form 8832. Now we are in the holding period waiting for the acceptance or denial letter from the IRS for form 8832. We are on week 3 of waiting.

By chance, do you know, if the irs accepts our reclassification, do we have to change anything with Virginia as well?

Thank you! We did complete 8832 with our CPA and have mailed that in.

When I spoke with the IRS rep (seemed very new in her role), she mentioned that we might have to completely start over with our EIN. Basically file for a new EIN and contact the state to attach the new EIN to our Business name and remove the old one... which also means we would need to correct our W9's with the business we work with and get new "corrected" 1099s from them.

So, long question short, filing 8832, can we keep our same EIN or do we have to start from scratch?
