just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your courses that I purchased. Just wanted folks to know that I was the reason I messed up, it was not the fault of your courses; I am hoping on closing on my first deal this week.

Your question requires me to give an answer I am not comfortable giving, which is “back dating” and “fudging” things. I would never recommend someone do such such a thing.
This is why I am asking you what to do because I don’t feel comfortable doing it the wrong way. I want to know how to do it the correct way even if it means starting a new corp. and closing the other. After all, I have your corporation course and it would not be hard to form another corp. Thanks Bill

The correct way is to form the corp, issue stock in exchange for consideration, then apply for the S election, form 2553. You have 75 days from the time the corporation first had shareholders or first began doing business. If you have a calendar year, you had until March 15th to file the election.
You could have issued stock in exchange for a note, which can be converted to cash now.
