How do I fix my rejected extension request in TurboTax Live Assisted Business?

by TurboTax•7• Updated 1 week ago

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.
