"TP claimed that refi is required to change deed."

Was that advice coming from the same source as putting it into an S Corp in the first place?  When things start sounding this flaky, I would tell the potential client that life is too short to mess with such problems. Especially if they don't show up until after April 15.   They were doing payroll?  But no employees, so withdrawing the profits that way?  You're in Ohio, is there a problem there with doing an LLC?  Usually the mess that people get into is going to a seminar where they are told that for "protection" they need an LLC, but maybe they thought a corporation would be easier, and then to avoid double taxation they elected S status.  

Is this a new client?  I would find out who sent them to you, and order 6 pizzas to be delivered to their address, C.O.D.
