Are page totals and the grand totals correct?
 What to do if you have no payroll for the quarter?
Enter zeros in each box in Item A. Check box “C,” No Payroll. Sign, date, provide your
telephone number on the form, and send to EDD.
 What to do if you are out of business?
Check box “D,” Out of Business/Final Report. Check this box if this is your final report and
you will not be reporting wages in any subsequent quarter. You must also complete an
Annual Reconciliation Statement (DE 7) and pay any amounts due with a Payroll Tax Deposit
