filing a return when someone else prepared and filed an extension

clients were a married couple.  racked up sizable suspended rental losses.  got divorced in 2021.  when set up for 2021 individual returns, transferred 100% of  suspended losses to each individual return with intention of going into the loss figures and changing them to 50%.  However, Proseries will not let me change the figures.  Got pressed for time and had to file extensions for both individual returns.  I am going to have to do new returns for each one entering in the 50% figures.  My problem is how do I get the extension info into the new returns so they do not get labelled as "late filed?"

Check the 4868 on Federal Information Worksheet, check the Freeze box on the Form4868

Go to the EF Center,  highlight the clients return - then do EFile - Electronic Filing - Update Acknowledgment Status

that should pull the info for the client

In connection with this, when preparing the new return, where can I enter the prior suspended losses.  Instructions say on the "carried forward" worksheet, but I do not find any place to enter the info.
