Federal information worksheet part Vll first box is to file extension. Make sure you uncheck that box

The federal extension box in Part VII is not checked.  I have even removed the 4868 (which was activated to print so the client could mail it with a check), still no luck in resolving the error.

I would exit program, repair updates from windows menu, then try again. If still no luck, then disable error checking, and efile.

I did the repair updates in the windows menu, still have the error.  I disabled the error checking, now the file will not transmit electronically.

Looks like a call to support is in your schedule

Did you get a solution to this issue?

No I did not get a solution.  We are considering transferring the file from 2021 and re-keying 2022 information.

I have this same issue now, it won't allow me to efile the amended 2021 tax return and keeps giving me that error. Did they end up finding a solution?

any chance that the 'freeze the amounts flowing' box is checked on the 4868?   If so, try unchecking

No, its not checked. I am going to just mail it in...

I did not call support, I saved the existing file under another name and transferred the file from 2021 to 2022 then re-keyed the information.  Sent the new file electronically no problem.

same problem here...what a bummer waste of time

Here is the solution:

1

here is simplified solution:

1 - unclick efile federal return

2 - click on 4868

3 - click on attachment & remove any pdf files

4 - unclick 4868

5 - click on efile federal return

Where has Intuit Support been when we need them? Oh yeah they are pushing the 2024 tax program..........
