PA 40 e file extension reject

[Bob 1945]

I received the following reject when I attempted to e file a PA 40 extension.  I checked all input fields and they appear correct.  Also the extension passed lacerte validation.

How do I resolve?

Just to let you know we are having the same issue.  Wondering if you found a resolution.  At this point, we will print out hard copies and mail in, but curious if you were able to fix it in Lacerte.

Thanks.

I am having the same issue with a PA extension that I tried to e-file on 2/26/21. The rejection states " make sure there is a check on the "Request automatic extension" if an extension is being filed and resubmit. The check was placed there but apparently was not being recognized.
