44.3. How to file an Amendment

The catch with FL amendments is that each transaction on an amended filing needs to be marked as newly reported, amended, or removed.  The state then inserts, overrides, or removes those entries, as directed, from its register. What this means for reporting purposes is that you can NOT just add or remove transactions from the system. You will need to correctly identify the change first before filing.

By default, when the amendment box is checked on a Florida report, all transactions are marked as amended. This just means that the current data entry overrides any past entry.

If you add a new transaction to the report, you will need to set the "FL Update Code" custom compliance field to "ADD." You can find this field on the "Linking" tab of the transaction, under "Advanced." This will direct the state to add the transaction to their records.

If you need to remove a transaction that's already been reported, you MUST NOT DELETE the transaction. Instead, set the "FL Update Code" custom compliance field to "Remove," which can be found on the "Linking" tab of the transaction, under "Advanced." This will direct the state to remove the transaction from their records.

After filing the amended report, DO NOT delete any transactions with the Remove code, and remove the ADD code from any transactions that have it to prevent these transactions from being double-reported on future reports.
