The comment that an update fixed it means that we (you and me both) need to do the update on the 2021 program. I keep meaning to do that but... We all have to update daily /weekly the current yr.

The work around that was mentioned earlier in the thread was to use the proper current date in the file even if it causes a red flag by Intuit. Save the return and go to the efile homebase. Select the file to transmit & convert - at that screen uncheck the "error checking" by Intuit button and send return to IRS

I will now do the update of prior yr program myself to my computer to current status
