Marking a VAT Return as Submitted

I was unable to submit a normal VAT Return via QuickBooks due to various errors. I have other software to file VAT Returns via MTD. However, now I am trying to mark the VAT Return as Submitted within QB and keep hitting a brick wall! This means that when the time comes I will not be able to generate the next VAT Return!

Hello Ayo-crownkingacc, 

 

Welcome to the Community page,

 

So if you have submitted the vat return somewhere else, what you would do in QuickBooks is turn off MTD, once it has been turned off, if you go to the return and click on prepare return then click on mark as filed this will then open the next return up for you.

    Many thanks. I actually tried this last night without success but will try it again.

    Hi ayo-crownkingacc, thanks for getting back to us; the Take Action button would mean that MTD is still connected as this is a response from HMRC - does clicking the Take Action button prompt you to mark the return as filed, and do the start and end dates of the open return match what has already been submitted to HMRC?
