Hello, I still need to e-file a tax return for tax year 2021. I believe the deadline is 17 October 2022. Can you please confirm until what date/time I can e-file using desktop TurboTax? And, if rejected for some reason, would I be able to resubmit after the deadline? Thank you!

You have until 11:59pm local time on October 17, 2022 to e-file the 2021 tax return.

If the tax return is rejected TurboTax normally gives at least 5 days after rejection to e-file the corrected tax return. After that extended date the 2021 tax return can only be printed and mailed.

The TurboTax online editions are normally available until the end of October so they can be used to print the 2021 tax return.

Turbotax will not allow e-file after Oct 15, 2022 for 2021 tax returns.

This is inconsistent with the IRS allowing e-filing thru Oct 17, 2022

Don't know why but very frustrating!

Those using the desktop software need to run their update....again.

Ther was a 15 vs 17 date issue that was fixed on 16 October, with an emergency software update.
