4868 error warning

[Margaret CPA in OH]

In trying to finish a return today, the check shows an error message for the extension.  "Payment Date must be today's date or later.  If this e-file is being recreated due to a rejection, this date must be updated."

The 4868 was e-filed May 9 with a debit date of May 10 for the $13,750 payment.  It was accepted on May 9.  I'm not recreating it.  So why would I be getting this message?  Will it go away when I input the signature date for the 8879?

I've not seen this before and am puzzled.  I'm hoping to e-file the return soon.

Perhaps reloading forms will fix this?

Which forms?  All? If so, is the data saved to repopulate?  I've used ATX since 1997 and this is a first.  Thought I had experienced it all by now.

When I was still using ATX, I never had a problem with using the Reload Forms Utility Function.

 Of course you should save the return before you do it.

Perhaps someone who currently uses ATX can chime in.

Delete the 4868. Once it's extended it can be discarded. I do this often.

I didn't think you could delete an e-filed return but maybe just the form.

Once I input the signature date for the client on 8879, the message disappeared!  Magic there somewhere, breathing easier...
