What Do I Need to File an Amended Form 1?

When filing an amended Form 1 out of ISP, you must first have the committee’s original FEC Filing ID. Additionally, since the Form 1 pulls information from the Filer Record, you must edit the necessary information in ISP before filing your amendment. Once you are ready to file, navigate to the Compliance Report page, select FEC Form 1 from the Compliance Report field drop-down menu, and check the Amended checkbox. In addition to the Amended checkbox, you will see four other checkboxes: Change of Address, Change of Email, Change of Name, and Change of URL. For example, check the Change of URL checkbox if your committee has a new website. Also, you can check as many checkboxes as apply. Below are steps to locate your committee’s original FEC Filing ID and ensure the Filer Record and Financial Account information is complete.

To locate the committee’s original FEC Filing ID:

1. Navigate to the FEC website
2. Type your Committee Id Number* into the search field; click the magnifying glass icon
3. Click on your Committee Name
4. On your Committee page, select FILINGS from the left sidebar menu
5. On the Committee Filings page, select the appropriate TWO-YEAR PERIOD in this field’s drop-down menu
6. Scroll down to the Statements of organization section
7. Click on the relevant Statement of Organization document to retrieve your FEC Identification Number

*Your Committee Id Number is located in the Committee Info section of the Filer Record in ISP.

To access your Filer Record:

1. On the Dashboard, click the magnifying glass (along the top of the page, near the Logout button)
2. In the drop-down search box, type the committee name; select committee name
3. On the committee page, click the green triangle in the corner of the Committee Info section header
4. In the Update Committee Info window, enter any necessary changes
5. Click the green Update Committee Info button

In the Filer Record, scroll down to the Relationships section to see whether a Treasurer record is linked. If not, follow these steps:
1. Ensure there is an existing Individual record for the Treasurer (if not, create one before proceeding to Step 2)
2. Click the green triangle in the Relationships section header
3. Enter the required information in the Add Relationship window

Note: if you have previously filed a paper version of Form 1 and this is the first time submitting an electronic version, you will need to file the report as an original rather than as an amendment.
