To-Do list conflicts with IRS instructions
my to-do list says i must pay IRS on form 941/944 by Nov 12 the payroll tax collected in Oct-the form seems to be telling me to wait until the end of the quarter-which is correct?

The IRS instructions for completing Form 941 say "For example, generally you must report wages you pay during the first quarter—which is January through
March—by April 30th. If you made timely deposits in full payment of your taxes for a quarter, you have 10 more days after the due dates shown above to file your Form 941."
You may want to read the instructions in full to determine when your payroll taxes are due, but if you are a monthly depositor, you need to deposit the October taxes by 11/12 and submit the completed form 941 by the 25th of the month.
