Hello,
You came recommended specifically for time-sensitive S-Corp elections, and I have one in front of me right now.
I'm Kristerpher Henderson, founder of MooseQuest LLC (EIN 42-2725169), a single-member Pennsylvania LLC formed 2026-05-21, doing business as Raxx — a software product in pre-launch revenue stage. I'm reaching out today because the window to file Form 2553 for a 2026 tax-year S-Corp election is hard and short.
The deadline I'm working against: 2026-08-05 — 75 days from formation. Miss it and the election defers to the 2027 tax year.
I'm looking for a CPA to handle two things, and I want to move quickly:
-
Form 2553 S-Corp election filing — effective for the 2026 tax year, filed by 2026-08-05. I need you to either commit to handling this or tell me in writing that I should file it separately so I can act accordingly.
-
Ongoing bookkeeping and tax prep — Form 1120-S, Schedule K-1, personal 1040 with Schedule K-1, quarterly estimated-tax support, and year-round tax planning as the business grows.
Specific issues I need covered in our engagement:
- PA franchise tax obligations for a single-member PA LLC
- Single-member LLC tax treatment and S-Corp election mechanics
- Reasonable salary calculation pre-revenue (I am the sole founder; no revenue yet at formation)
- Quarterly estimated tax setup for 2026 and beyond
- Apple In-App Purchase revenue recognition — Raxx will distribute through the Apple App Store; IAP revenue flows through Apple as merchant of record before arriving as net proceeds
- Stripe subscription revenue recognition for direct web subscriptions
Materials I can send before we speak:
- EIN: 42-2725169
- Pennsylvania Articles of Organization (filed 2026-05-21)
- FinCEN BOI filing status — MooseQuest LLC is exempt from the Beneficial Ownership Information reporting requirement under the March 2025 IFR (the reporting rule is currently stayed pending litigation)
To schedule: Reply here or call me directly. I'm available most weekday mornings. Please include a quote or fee structure for (1) the Form 2553 filing and (2) the ongoing bookkeeping and tax-prep relationship in your reply if possible — I'm evaluating a short list simultaneously given the deadline.
Thank you for your time.
