S-corp extension won't file

[joanmcq]

Last year I filed the 2553 with the corp's initial return. Marked the box saying the S status was being elected with the return & attached the 2553 by PDF,

Now I go to file the extension and its rejected; says EIN must match entity type. I know I'll have to call the IRS tomorrow, but anyone else have this happen? now I wonder if they got the 2553?

I have the same exact problem with an S-Corp first filed in 2011. E-filed the first year no problem. Last year got the entity type error so I paper filed the extension. I have the 2553 from the attorney and everything seems ok. Paper filed the return last year and the client didn't have any correspondence with the IRS, but when I tried to e-file the extension just last week got the same error again.

Same thing happened to me, I will just going to paper file the 1120 C and 1120S extension for the same client, who know if they sent out the form 2553.

I am like this poor lady, I don't have time for that.
