PTO just informed me that extension f4868 cannot be e-filed because it has passed the deadline and will result in a transmission error. Can TP file the extension f4868 via paper?

Thanks for your time and comment.

Of course. And you can file it at their request. Doesn't require a signature.

@BobKamman BTW is there any reason why overseas TP cannot e-file f4868 at this time? Thanks

You would have to ask Intuit about that. Your client might be able to DIY directly with IRS.

You asked this twice and now you have answers in both topics. The other topic is:

And since it has the typo in the title, I will flag it for deletion. Please stay with one topic and update it as you work out the details.

@qbteachmt @puravidapto @sjrcpa @BobKamman This just want an update, TP just e-filed f4868 via PTO (out of country extension from June 15 to October 15, 2021) and received an acceptance via e-file confirmation letter.

I must say that I got a wrong advice from one of the assistants at PTO informing me that the IRS does not process extension requests filed electronically after May 17, 2021 (f4868 -out of country extension from June 15 to October 15, 2021), I just have to print and mail the extension request out. The PTO assistant was wrong.

Again, thanks for all your comments and time.

Hello,

@The Real Halloween I am having the same problem with e-filing f4868. A transmission error keeps popping up. How were you able to e-file it?
