the preceding quarter are less than $2,500, you didn’t
incur a $100,000 next-day deposit obligation during the
current quarter, and you’re paying in full with a timely filed
return; or
• You’re a monthly schedule depositor making a
payment in accordance with the Accuracy of Deposits
Rule. See section 11 of Pub. 15 for details. In this case,
the amount of your payment may be $2,500 or more.
