Quick answer
Do not treat this as a software decision. IRS Form 2553 instructions discuss when an eligible entity can be treated as a corporation as of the S election effective date, while Form 8832 is the separate entity classification election. Tax Paperwork can compare the paperwork paths, but it does not choose LLC tax classification.

What to check next
Use the current IRS Form 2553 and Form 8832 sources to separate classification, S corporation election, effective-date, consent, and signer questions before drafting either form.
Tax Paperwork can help organize a narrow browser-local draft preview where supported. You remain responsible for checking official sources, getting professional advice when needed, and keeping customer-controlled submission records.
Common risk
A common mistake is treating a draft, checklist, payment receipt, upload receipt, mailing receipt, or third-party summary as IRS confirmation. Keep records, but verify official channel rules and follow-up through IRS.gov, official correspondence, or qualified professional help.
