Update 4/5/2024: You can now correct and electronically re-submit any rejected extensions
Scenario: My extension was rejected and there is no option to re-submit it after correcting the reject errors.
Impact: [Minimal] A small percentage of extensions are rejected by the IRS. They typically do a cursory check for name control and if an extension is already on file.
Solution: We have a work item in for a programmatic fix.
Alternative solution until this can be resolved:
- Paper file the extension
- You can send the taxpayer a customer portal invite and make the return available for them to print, sign and mail once they have registered their account.
