2021 Efile Issue - date of return cannot be after 12/31/22 so rejects

I am having trouble efiling any 2021 Proseries Basic federal return - it requires the date in the information worksheet to be from 2023 (since we are in 2023) to successfully efile; HOWEVER, the Proseries software won't let you go past 12/31/2022 (error appears).  Anyone else having this issue?

Use the current date but shut off error checking when you convert the file for e-filing

Have you updated the 2021 software?  I thought they fixed that glitch a few weeks ago.

Or update your program. This has been fixed.  I've efiled 2021 returns with current dates just this week without a problem.
