Do not wait until November 2 to reconcile Q3 payroll.
Before your Form 941 and NYS-45 are transmitted:
1. Compare wage and tax totals against your payroll registers
2. Match federal and New York deposits to what was withheld
3. Review adjustments, voids, and manual checks
4. Resolve every variance before the returns go out
October 31 falls on a Saturday this year, so the Q3 deadlines move to Monday, November 2. A few hours of reconciliation now can save weeks of agency correspondence later.
