How to correct Tax year Beginning Date

I started an LLC part way through 2019 and initially I entered the wrong date (6/28/2019), under Business Info, as the "Date you stared doing business." The issue is I later corrected this date to 5/21/2019, but my 1065 and all other documents still reflect the initial incorrect date (6/28/2019). 

 

I already e-filed when I found the tax year beginning date was still incorrect (shows 6/28/2019 and should be 5/21/2019), even though I corrected it. Do I need to submit a revised return. If yes, how do I correct the Tax Year Beginning Date? 

 

Also I already started the process to revise my return, but I do not see anyway to revise the Tax Year Beginning Date, because the "Date you started doing business" already reflects the correct date of 5/21/2019, but all my return forms still incorrectly show 6/28/2019. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to amend your return, you can override the dates in Forms Mode; it will not matter since you have to print and mail an amended return, regardless.

i really don't see a need to amend unless the numbers on the return other than the date would change.

@HelpNeeded1 I agree with @Anonymous - you probably do not need to amend.
