    I am getting an error when I go to efile 2021 taxes.

    The error is today's date is invalid for electronic filing. the date must be on or after 01/01/22 and on or before 12/31/22.

    How to fix it so I can efile 2021.

    Enter 12/31/22 instead of today's date.

    You can probably turn off error checking at conversion to push it through as well.
