A payroll tax calendar for small business employers
Payroll obligations repeat all year, and missing one can create expensive notices.
Check the records
Track deposits separately from quarterly returns.
Confirm the deadline
Prepare W-2 data before January pressure hits.
Review the risk
Tie payroll reports to the general ledger monthly.
Official source to check
Check current IRS or agency instructions for forms, filing dates, and notice procedures before relying on a deadline or threshold.
Deadline or timing note
Use the date printed on the notice, form, filing calendar, or agency correspondence, then gather the supporting records before taking action.
