Quarter-End

The quarter-end process begins the month following the end of the quarter and involves:

• Reconciling accumulated per payroll tax figures to quarter-to-date totals

• Preparing and filing your quarterly returns and wage detail

• Making your quarterly deposits

• Producing your tax statement

Several weeks prior to the beginning of quarter-end processing, the Tax Service will mail you the QE Planner. The QE Planner contains your Master File Audit Report, processing deadlines, tax changes that affect the current quarter-end, and procedure changes and reminders.

In addition to reviewing the QE Planner, there are other procedures involved in quarter-end:

• Reviewing your Master File Audit Report

• Finalizing the Quarter

• Processing Reruns

• Reporting Special Taxes, if applicable

• Transmitting Quarterly Data

• Resolving Variances

• Reviewing the Quarterly Tax Statements
