Can I still use it? My accountant is out of town, so I thought I'd ask all of you fine folks.
Do I need to call the IRS up and say, "hey, I'm going to start using this corporation now"?
Any advise appreciated as always.

Assuming you have kept your FL charter active, you can begin using the corporation any time.
BUT...........
You
must obtain a Federal Employer Identification number. If you do not already have one, you can get one online at

Don't forget to discuss a Subchapter S election with your accountant as soon as you can.
