Due Date Rules for IR Taxes

You set up due date rules for IR for each month that begins on a different day of the week or that has a different number of days. For example, February and March of 2005 both begin on a Tuesday, but you must set up a different due date rule for February and for March because they have a different number of days.

The due date rule is a 4-digit code. To make recognizing what the code represents easier, you can set up due date rules that follow a recognizable pattern. For example, you might set up codes for the year 2005 according to this schedule:

Identity Tax	Month, Day, Day of the Week	Day of the Week	Due Date Rule Code
R = IR tax	Jan = 31, begins on Saturday Feb = 28, begins on Tuesday Mar = 31, begins on Tuesday April = 30, begins on Friday	Sunday = 1 Monday = 2 Tuesday = 3 and so on	R731 = IR code for January R328 = IR code for February R331 = IR code for March R630 = IR code for April
