Terms of Service
Last updated: November 9, 2026
These terms apply when you pay for a fax or a form on FaxReceipt. By paying, you agree to them. The version shown here when you paid is the one that applies to that order.
What FaxReceipt does
FaxReceipt sends one-time faxes to US and Canadian numbers, and prepares IRS Forms 2553 and 8832 from your answers. Form 2553 is faxed to the IRS once you have signed it and uploaded it. The IRS publishes no fax number for Form 8832, so you sign and mail that form yourself.
The IRS gives both forms away free on IRS.gov, and you may fill them in and file them yourself. Our price pays for preparing the form from your answers and, for Form 2553, for faxing it.
Who may use it
You must be at least 18 and able to enter into a binding contract, and, for a form, entitled to act for the company it is about.
We do not give advice
We are not a law firm or an accounting firm, we are not your tax representative, and nothing on this site is legal or tax advice. We do not tell you whether an election suits you, and we do not check that your answers are correct. Please ask a tax professional if you are not sure.
Your responsibility
- Your answers and your documents must be true, and you must have the right to send them.
- You must sign a form yourself where it asks for a signature, and every person the form asks to sign must sign it. We do not check that a signature is on the pages you upload.
- You must not send unsolicited advertising, which US law prohibits, or anything unlawful, threatening or abusive. You are responsible for having the right to fax the number you choose.
How faxes are sent
Every page we fax carries a line at the top with the date and time it was sent, our name and our fax number, as US law requires. If the line is busy or does not answer, we try again: up to 3 times over about 25 minutes for a fax, and up to 8 times over about a day for a form faxed to the IRS. We may refuse to send to a number whose owner has asked us not to.
What delivery means
A fax is delivered when the receiving machine reports that it received every page, and your transmission report records that. It does not show that anyone read the fax, or that the IRS accepted your election. Only the IRS decides that, and we cannot promise how it will decide or when it will answer.
Prices and refunds
You pay once, before we send or prepare anything, in US dollars.
- Faxes: if a fax still cannot be delivered after our retries, we refund it in full, automatically. We do not refund a delivered fax.
- Forms: if you have not downloaded your form yet, write to us within 14 days of paying and we refund it in full. Once you have downloaded it, the form has been prepared and we do not refund it, except that if we cannot deliver your Form 2553 to the IRS after our retries, we refund the whole price automatically.
- We do not refund because of a decision the IRS makes.
A refund of a card payment goes back to the card you paid with and usually reaches it within 5 to 10 business days. A crypto payment cannot be refunded automatically: we email you to ask for a wallet address and send the refund there.
Deadlines
Dates on this site are worked out from what the IRS publishes and from the dates you enter. Filing on time is still your responsibility. Please leave time for retries and for signing.
No warranty
We work to send every fax and to prepare every form correctly, but the service is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we make no promise beyond what these terms say, including that the service will always be available or that every fax will go through.
Limits
To the extent the law allows, our liability for any claim about a fax or a form is limited to the amount you paid for it, and we are not liable for indirect losses, including penalties or taxes resulting from a late or refused filing.
Changes
We may change these terms. A change applies to orders paid after it is published here.
