Nonprofit Formation — S-Corp election deadline missed

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

S-Corp election deadline missed. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but the other party is not cooperating.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the relevant statute. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct actionable.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
