Form 1120-ME Rejection due to withdrawal date error

[DawnB]

I have e-filed a Maine corporate return but it gets rejected with the following error "Return Payment Date cannot be after 9/30/21".  I have selected to have the payment withdrawn directly from the bank account.  The first date I selected was 10/14 when I filed it yesterday.  I resubmitted it today and changed the date to 10/15.  I know that they are going through some system upgrades and were experiencing delayed responses.  What should I do now?  Thank you.

Delete the payment on the return.  I assume Maine has a way to pay electronically on their website in addition to paying with the return.

If it says "Return Payment Date cannot be after 9/30/21"  why would changing it to a different day in October correct the error?
