Discrepancy in Employer's Payroll Total Report and Quarterly Totals for Tax Reporting

[timboud]

The Gross Wages on the Quarterly report dated 2/28/14 is $4,672.69. That is $793.50 higher than the Total Pay ($3,879.19) on the Payroll Total Report. Shouldn't my quarterly report only pull the numbers through 2/28/14 if that is the date that I use? It is using numbers from a check register dated 3/6/14. Does the Quarterly Report give you up to date for the quarter (through 3/11/14) even though you have the date set at 2/28/14? Thanks!

No a "Quarterly" Report is just what the name implies. It is a Full Quarter, e.g. January through March; April through June; July through September and October through December.
