If the pay period ends on March 30th and paychecks for this pay period are issued on April 4th, in which quarter should the withholding payment be included?
The date of the employee’s paycheck determines the quarter in which the withholding is included. Taxes are withheld when the wages are paid (date of the paycheck), not when the wages are earned (the pay period). Therefore, the taxes would be included in the 2nd quarter withholdings since the paycheck was dated April 4th.
