If you filed your Partnership income (Form 1065) or S corporation income (Form 1120S) extension before the tax deadline and it was rejected, you have 5 days to fix it.

Here's how:

  • Download and fill out Form 7004 from the IRS.

  • Include an explanation of why you're filing after the due date and a copy of the e-file rejection notification email.

  • Mail the completed Form 7004 by certified mail with a return receipt. This will serve as your proof of the date you mailed your tax return and when the IRS received it.

What if I filed a New York state business extension and it was rejected?

Attempt to e-file the extension again through New York’s website.

What happens if I filed a New York city business extension and it was rejected?

What if I'm not an S-corp or partnership, and filed an extension that was rejected?

If you're not an S-corp or partnership, you can file an extension for your April 15th deadline through TurboTax Easy Extension.
