Error message is "RETURN IS SELECTED. PLEASE COMPLETE THE EXTENSION FOR THE RETURN FIRST. IF THE EXTENSION HAS BEEN COMPLETED, OPEN THE RETURN NAVIGATE TO STATE/CITY AND SAVE THE RETURN"

Of course I have already tried updating the status of the returns.

ProSeries staff needs to fix this pronto please.

So you Efiled a CA extension with a payment, now you're trying to EFile the return and you get this message? Did you uncheck any of the EF boxes after EF the extension?

I havent EF'd any of the returns that I EF'd a CA extension for yet this year, so Im not sure if this is a program issue or a user issue.

I should not have to uncheck anything.  This is a program issue.

Youre right, you shouldn't have to uncheck anything. That's why I asked if you had.

So from the EFCenter Pending Tab, if you highlight just the CA return for that client and hit the EFNow button and only choose to Convert....is that the message you get?
