After the form is complete and signed on paper, use the IRS center for the business’s principal office. This guided request prepares an unsigned document for admin review; it does not send an election.
Faxing vs. Mailing Form 2553
The IRS accepts a properly completed, paper-signed election by fax or mail. Keep the signed original and delivery evidence. An unsigned draft or payment does not meet the filing deadline.
Unsigned elections are not timely
An officer and every required shareholder must sign their own paper signature lines. The IRS rejects electronic signatures on Form 2553. We do not stamp browser signatures or file an unsigned election.
Are you filing on time?
File no more than 2 months and 15 days after the tax year begins, or any time during the preceding tax year. If that window is closed, late relief under Rev. Proc. 2013-30 may apply, that is not tax advice.

What customers say
"SingleFax made the whole process surprisingly easy. I needed to fax an EIN application to the IRS and also have a temporary fax number so the IRS could send the EIN back. I was able to get a 30-day receiving number, send the application online from my computer, and avoid signing up for a monthly fax service I didn’t need."
