Change "Submission ID" date for E-filing

[cpr1955]

I transmitted a 2017 return to EFC. It was rejected - error message was "Year in Submission ID is incorrect: "2018" should be '2019". Is there way way to change the year?

1. Delete the 1040 EF INFO document from the return.
2. Delete the State EF INFO document (if applicable.)
3. Close the return
4. Open the return.
5. Click on the large E-file Icon in the top bar
6. Click to allow the addition of e-file forms.
7. Fill in the appropriate information.
8. Re-create the e-file.
9. All should work just fine.

Thanks again, Jack. I'm still waiting for EFC to reply.
