next two years with beginning and ending dates for each period. For example, if you currently file on a quarterly basis,

Note to accounts reporting on a quarterly prepayment basis - As required by law, the Board will adjust the length
of the second prepayment period of your second tax reporting quarter. The second prepayment period will be extended
by 15 days. Any adjustment will be noted on your authorization letter and the accompanying tax reporting calendar.
Example: If, for the second quarter, you request a second prepayment period beginning on May 3 and
ending on June 2, we will adjust the closing date of the period to June 17.
