Yes, if you made a payment, the extension automatically is filed.

This means you have already filed a return. Are you trying to file a second return?

I had not already filed a return. I went through Turbo Tax to complete my extension (4868) and had TT submit it right away. I then immediately paid the estimated taxes directly to the IRS. About 45 minutes later I got the error message. 

 

Is it possible that the IRS treats the payment itself as the extension request? That is how my state (Maine) does it.

Is this true when you file an 1040-ES, an auto extension?  That I filed in December, then tried to file an extension on April15th and received this rejection notice.

 


Yes, if you filed an Extension in December, then again on April 15th, you could get this message.  If you can explain why you felt the need to file a second extension request, we'll try to help.
