Tax elections affect how an entity is treated for federal tax purposes and can carry important deadlines. We assist with Form 2553, Form 8832, late-election review, and related tax coordination based on the entity’s facts.

After engagement setup, use the secure client portal and the upload instructions provided by Tavella CPA Group. Do not send Social Security numbers, tax returns, bank information, or other sensitive documents through the public contact form or ordinary email.
Yes. Organizers, secure document uploads, messages, electronic signatures, invoices, and final documents can be handled online through the appropriate secure workflow.
Timing depends on the service, complexity, completeness of the information provided, filing deadline, and current availability. Expected timing is discussed when the scope is confirmed; submitting a consultation request does not reserve a filing deadline.
Tavella CPA Group will identify the missing items and explain what is needed next. Preparation or filing may need to pause until the required information is received, and any deadline or extension options will be discussed based on the circumstances.
