Hello,

Trying to efile an amended 2021 return and getting the following message:

Error Detail:
The year of the 'PrimarySignatureDt' in the Return Header must be equal to the processing
year.
Error Resolution:
This return was rejected due to incorrect signature date. Review "Date PIN entered" on
the Federal Information Worksheet. The date must be in the current calendar year to efile.
Ignore error messaging about the reject if necessary.

Now, when I change the Date PIN entered to todays date, the software rejects the change.

Any insight?

Thanks!

The comment that an update fixed it means that we (you and me both) need to do the update on the 2021 program. I keep meaning to do that but... We all have to update daily /weekly the current yr.

The work around that was mentioned earlier in the thread was to use the proper current date in the file even if it causes a red flag by Intuit. Save the return and go to the efile homebase. Select the file to transmit & convert - at that screen uncheck the "error checking" by Intuit button and send return to IRS

I will now do the update of prior yr program myself to my computer to current status

I have been updating the 2021 version. Still doesn't work, but your instructions for the work-around through the transmit & convert did. I just got confirmation that Intuit has accepted the file. Thank you!

Other posts discussing several days ago....believe the solution is to use current date but you will need to uncheck the Enable Conversion error checking when efiling.
