I filed an extension prior to 4/15/22 and the return indicates it was accepted. Now while working on the return I get a extension critical diagnostic. How do I clear it

Client status shows Arkansas extension accepted in timely manner

Is this the same return? https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/proconnect-tax-discussions/discussion/i-filed-an-extension-p...

Is there really supposed to be an Arkansas return? 

[pfdcpa]

Yes,  this is the same return I asked about on Saturday and yes, it does require an Arkansas return

[George4Tacks]

Now that I am clearly on the question, what is the problem. What does the diagnostic say? 

My guess is that diagnostic is not going to go away and that it will not affect your ability to e-file an Arkansas tax return. 

I saw another similar question and the answer was file the return, do not try to file an extension.

The diagnostic says  "Extensions must be filed on or before the due date of the return to be considered valid.  If needed, an extension payment can be made on the Arkansas website at: www.atap.arkansas.gov.

I filed the federal and state extensions prior to 4/15/2022 and no payment was required for either.  The extensions were both accepted prior to 4/15/2022.  I am now ready to file the returns but this extension critical diagnostic popped up.  Should I just check ignore and go ahead and file the federal and Arkansas return?

Yes, ignore that diagnostic.
