I would like to file my withholding tax returns every two weeks (bi-weekly). Can I register for semi-monthly filing frequency but file every two weeks?
No— Bi-weekly filing is not allowed. Semi-monthly filers file 24 returns each year. Filing a return every two weeks will result in 26 returns filed each year, which is two more than the semi-monthly schedule. The two extra returns and accompanying payments will be rejected, which could cause the monies to be misapplied with billings issued for deficiencies.
