[E-File Error Code F4868-002-01] How do I resolve it?

 IRS Error Code [F4868-002-01]:

If Form 4868, Line 8 checkbox, or Line 9 checkbox is checked, then the form can only be filed after the Tax Period End Date in the IRS Submission Manifest and on or before the extended due date for taxpayers out of the country.

Rejection Message:
For Out-of-Country filers, the application for an extension can only be filed after the tax period ends and on or before the due date of June 15.

Resolution:

• If your extension was submitted before December 31, you must wait until the tax period ends before re-submitting.

• If you attempt to file after June 15, the IRS will not accept the request, and an extension can no longer be granted.

Here's how you re-transmit your return after December 31:

1. Log in to your account.

2. On the dashboard, under Personal Extensions - Form 4868, identify the rejected return. Then, click the Rejected by the IRS button found against it.

3. You can find the list of errors associated with the return. Since no changes need to be made to the return, proceed to re-transmit the return.

4. Review the details, and click the Transmit button to re-transmit your return to the IRS at no additional cost.

We'll keep you informed on the status of the return once we hear back from the IRS.
