How do I correct and resubmit a rejected tax extension?

You can correct and resubmit a rejected federal tax extension at no additional charge.

1. Sign in and select My Tax Filings.
2. Find the extension marked Rejected.
3. Select Correct and Resubmit.
4. Review the IRS rejection reason and correct the information.
5. Complete the steps to resubmit the extension.

Common rejection reasons include an incorrect Social Security number, EIN, taxpayer name, business name, or business return type. You can try again if the IRS rejects your corrected filing, without another filing charge.

Important: A rejected extension has not been accepted by the IRS. Correction deadlines matter, especially after the original filing deadline. Resubmitting does not guarantee acceptance or protection from penalties.
