I own an LLC. I want to elect being an S corp for tax purposes starting for tax year 2017. My company was formed in May of 2013 but 2017 was my first year for income. I will have a short year starting Jan 7, 2017.
Question:
Is my incorporated date May of 2013 when my state recognized it being formed?
I have to attach form 2553, do I fall within the correct filing period of two months 15 days for the tax year 2017 by March 15, 2018? or would this be considered a late election filing?
