Per the 7004 Instructions: The IRS will no longer send a notification that your extension has
been approved. They will notify you only if your request for an
extension is disallowed. Properly filing Form 7004 will
automatically give you the maximum extension allowed from the
due date of your return to file the return.
You can correct a rejected business e-filing during the "transmission perfection period". Generally, the business perfection period begins when a return or extension is transmitted timely and may extend beyond the due date of the filing. The length of the period depends on what you have e-filed (deadlines are midnight):
7004 and 8868 extension - 5 days
1120, 1120S, 1065 and 990 - 10 days
For more information, see KB article "Business Return Perfection Period - Curing a Rejected Timely Filing" in Related Links at the bottom of this page.
Note that DRKPARSE and Drake B-ack errors do not qualify for the perfection period.
