MTD VAT filing error -You must also click Save again to make this change that is prior to the closing date-

So recently migrated from QB Desktop 2012 to QB Online, the data had to go to Intuit but it seems everything has been dragged across.

I have linked into VAT on the Government Gateway & I have followed all the steps to file the VAT, but when i click "submit return" i get the message "You must also click Save again to make this change that is prior to the closing date." which doesn't make any sense as the screen that pops up on doesn't have an option to "save" anything.

Any ideas???

Hello RustyG,

 

Could you please go to the cog wheel > account & settings > advanced and check if there is a date entered under the close the books section at the top? If there is a date entered, please remove this and turn off the close the books function. You should then be able to submit without receiving that message.

 

Thanks,

 

Talia
