YTD Summary is always shown on quarterly basis since payroll tax remittances are dues quarterly. In this example, we set the payroll date on Nov 30, 2012, which means we have three (3) quarterly summaries, October, and from 1-29 November 2012.  Keep clicking Next Period button to go to next periods.
