Its a different type of extension - its an automatic extension for two months but requires a statement attached to your return. I am not sure if you are able to bypass that one and proceed with a regular extension filing. My hope was that this method would lead you back into your actual extension filing and you could resubmit. It appears that isn't the case and I would assume that it would get marked as a new filing and not "fixing your rejected" one. You might want to check back tomorrow and if others are having this issue, there may be more information available for a fix or workaround by that time. Otherwise, it might be easiest at this point to mail the extension. You can include a copy of the rejection confirmation (but the IRS will have it in their system).
