Designated Officials of S corps and C corps who registered for a Business Tax Account in 2025 have an upcoming deadline to renew their role.

Deadline and Requirements:

Designated Officials have until July 29, 2026 to revalidate their role to maintain access to their IRS Business Tax Account. Designated Officials include officers (President, VP, CEO, CFO, COO, Secretary, Treasurer) or a managing member of the entity. Officers must also be a current employee and receiving a W-2 for the most recent tax filing year and be authorized to legally bind the business or entity. If multiple officials have an account, then each one will need to sign in and renew their role.

Consequences of missing the deadline:

If your S or C Corporation Business Tax Account is not renewed by July 29^th, you may lose access to your account and have to request access again.

Where to go:

irs.gov/businessaccount has all the resources to allow officials to sign in and renew their accounts. If you are registered with multiple entities, you will be able to access all of them through your Business Tax Account.
