8832 Form

Form 8832—Entity Classification Election is the IRS form for eligible entities to set the tax classification for federal tax purposes. The tax classification of an eligible entity can be a corporation, partnership, or entity disregarded as separate from the entity’s owner.

However, before an entity files Form 8832, there is one thing that needs to be cleared out.

If the entity is going to be an S corporation for tax classification purposes, Form 2553 must be filed if the election is under section 1262(a). That said, Form 2553 must be filed for entities who are becoming an S corporation under section 1262(a).
