If your return has already been processed you will need to file an amendment using the paper form MW506A or MW506AM. If you are filing a quarterly report, use the period ending for the quarter. Your report will automatically be processed to include the entire quarter. A quarterly return will not be accepted prior to the first day of the last month of the quarter.
