I filed for an automatic extension on my 2017 tax return in November 2016.   I filed my 2017 return in May 2017.  I was notified by IRS that the extension was disallowed because it was filed in 2016 and I was charged a penalty for late filing.  Is this right?  If not what can I do to correct this.

    An extension request using Form 4868 for tax year 2017 had to be filed between January 1, 2018 and April 18, 2018 for US residents.
