I logged on my IRS account and saw a message saying "You have an Extension to File you 2021 Tax Return." What does this mean?
I filed an extension before the due date and mailed my tax return forms on August 12th. Why am I getting this message?

You're getting the message because, even though you filed your return in August, the IRS hasn't fully processed it yet and recorded it on the Master File.
