Your account will be reviewed periodically to determine if the filing schedule assigned is appropriate. If you have been assigned an annual or semi-annual reporting basis and incur, or reasonably anticipate that you will incur, a tax payment obligation in excess of $300.00 per month, you should file a supplemental return. In addition, if you have been assigned a filing basis other than monthly, you should request a more frequent filing schedule whenever you have reason to believe that your future tax obligations will average more than $300.00 per month.
