Massachusetts extension frustrations

Hi all, 

Back in April, for the tax year 2021, I filed an extension with Massachusetts and paid the amount that I believed would be due.  I did this through TurboTax, and indeed, my home page reflects that this extension was filed and accepted, and the money was withdrawn from my bank account. Now, I am ready to file my actual taxes, and I am having two issues: 

 

1) When I generate a preview of my MA tax return, I am still seeing a Form M-4868 (Massachusetts Income Tax Extension Payment and Voucher), which has a voucher that I would in theory send to Massachusetts to file for an extension and to pay the projected taxes owed.  What is really confusing about this is that I already have paid this projected amount and filed the extension -- in other words, I am not attempting to file an extension now (I already have done so).  I am just trying to file my return now.  

 

2) Probably related to the complication of the above situation, I am only presented with an option to mail my filing and not to e-file. 

 

Any insights on this would be greatly, greatly appreciated.  Thank you!
