Same problem. Will not accept today's m/d/y as correct. Filing 2021 taxes on extension deadline 10/17/2022. Says that date is "not valid." What is the answer? Can I just fake any date or what?
What is your time zone? Are you filing in the vicinity of midnight in one of the time zones? Wait a few hours and try again, and see if it sorts it out.
That's part of how you "sign" the return. You may be looking at a screen that asks for 3 things: a Self-Select PIN (you choose the digits), your birth date, and "today's date."

Also be aware of this known issue:
Are you using desktop software or Online TurboTax?
In the desktop software (CD/download) there was a recent issue with a programming error early Sunday morning concerning an erroneous message that was appearing saying that the efile deadline was October 15 instead of the actual October 17.
TurboTax corrected that issue with a software update Sunday morning. If you are using desktop software, be sure you download the latest program update.
