The following diagnostic is generating:

Form 4868 Reject: Form 4868 can only be filed on or before the original due date to which the extension applies, unless Line 8 checkbox or Line 9 checkbox is checked. If Line 8 checkbox or Line 9 checkbox is checked, then Form 4868 can only be filed on or before the extended due date for taxpayers out of the country. .

Solution:

This diagnostic is generated if 1=e-file extension Form 4686 or 2350 is entered (code 36). This relates to Taxpayers residing outside of the United States. If this does not apply please remove the diagnostic by removing this code.

What happens if you just ignore the diagnostic? Is it an e-file CRITICAL diagnostic?

What diagnostics will prevent a return from being e-filed?

E-file critical diagnostics and Fatal critical diagnostics will stop an e-file return from being e-filed. E-file critical diagnostics typically generate when Lacerte recognizes something that will cause an e-file reject. Make sure to resolve any e-file critical diagnostics and fatal critical diagnostics before continuing to e-file.  Additionally, some critical diagnostics that are not e-file critical diagnostics will stop the return from being e-filed.

Same \ following

This occur last year (2022 tax year). I thought I did it, but it seems like after April, for all returns on extension the "1" in the box for eFile Extension becomes a critical diaX warning

Have we heard from anyone from Lacerte yet?  It doesn't look like the extension goes with the return when it's e-filed, probably because it's already been sent, so I just took the "1" out of the box for Extension and the diagnostic is gone. I usually only e-file one return at a time so I'll just do that I guess.

It is a critical Diagnostic and will prevent the return from being e-filed.   Yes you can just delete the "1" and e-file with no problem but why is it causing this diagnostic in the first place?  The same thing was happening in the 2022 program also.

take out the 1 for the extension and it goes away
