🧩 What This Means

The IRS is rejecting the Form 4868 e-file because it must be filed only after the 'TaxPeriodEndDate' shown in the IRS Submission Manifest, and it must be filed on or before the applicable extension due date. The rejection also indicates that this requirement may be bypassed only when Line 8 checkbox or Line 9 checkbox is checked.

🛠️ Next Steps

Step 1: Confirm the Line 8 or Line 9 checkbox status

Check whether Line 8 checkbox or Line 9 checkbox is checked, since the rejection message indicates the filing may be allowed only in that case.

Step 2: Verify the TaxPeriodEndDate timing in the IRS Submission Manifest

Ensure the Form 4868 is being filed after the 'TaxPeriodEndDate' listed in the IRS Submission Manifest.

Step 3: Confirm the filing date is on or before the extension due date

Make sure the filing is submitted on or before the due date to which the extension applies.
