On September 28, 2009, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") issued Revenue Procedure 2009-41 ("Rev. Proc. 2009-41"), which provides relief for taxpayers making a late entity classification election. Rev. Proc. 2009-41 permits relief for certain late entity classification elections and extends the period for making a late entity classification election to three years and 75 days after the requested effective date of such election. Entities that had "reasonable cause" for their failure to timely file an election can qualify for relief under Rev. Proc. 2009-41 if they satisfy the requirements described below.
