Hi - am trying to file historic / overdue VAT returns, showing as unfiled on HMRC website.  Obviously these can no longer be filed with HMRC directly (manually).   The bookeeping is now up to date in QB online & I was hoping to simply file across the 9 returns via MTD, however this appears not the case.

QB shows that my records do not match HMRC's, so I click "take action" and am prompted :

This VAT return must be marked as filed

HMRC has already received a VAT return for the period 01/02/2022 - 30/11/2022. Just mark the return as filed to close the books.".

These VAT returns are not filed with HMRC (per HMRC portal) - how do I process via QB MTD and get up to date?
