"The 5500 for a 6/30/2025 plan year end, is due by 1/31/26. This came out on Saturday. Therefore, the 5500 and the 5558 must be filed ON or prior to 2/2/26 (since 2/1 26 was a Sunday). We filed the 5558 on 2/2/26 (today) with I file and got a validation error that stated ' you have filed the form 5558 after the return's normal due date and may not be approved for an extension based on this form 5558 that was submitted'. I hope this is an error on their part and the extension will be approved?"
