🔍 Fixing and Resending Rejected Extension Returns
If you have extension returns that are rejected by the IRS, the Rejects report prints when you print the acknowledgement.
⚠️ Before You Begin
You will need to:
- Open the rejected extension return in SureFire.
- Identify and correct the entry that caused the rejection.
- Resend the extension return after the fix.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Open the rejected return in SureFire
Use this when you need to locate what the IRS rejected.
To fix the return, open the return in SureFire.
The form containing the error will be marked with a red exclamation point. The specific entry causing the error will be highlighted in red.
Step 2: Fix the error
Use this when you need to correct the highlighted entry.
After you fix the error, do one of the following:
Step 3A: Run diagnostics and e-file from inside the return
Use this when you want SureFire to validate the return before sending.
Run diagnostics from inside the return and click the Extension E-File button.
Step 3B: Use the Tools menu to make extension e-files
Use this when you prefer to generate extension e-files from the main menu.
Open the Tools menu and select Make Extension e-files.
Step 4: Transmit the extension return

Transmit the extension return just as you did before.
