When you first log in to your Poppins account, you will be greeted with the My Poppins page. Here you will find summaries for each employee of the timing of your next payroll and the amounts and dates that taxes will be due. These are divided into three Sections: Next Payroll, Tax Quarter Ends and Taxes Owed.
Next Payroll
This section will always display your employee's next payday. This date will be dependent on the pay schedule you selected for your employee. The frequency of your payroll can be changed in Pay Settings on the Employee Info Page.
Note: If you make changes to your employee’s payroll on the Next Payroll page, the date displayed in this section, is the date of the payroll you are changing. You cannot make changes to a payroll period that has already ended.
Tax Quarter Ends
This section will always display when the current federal and state quarters are scheduled to end. On the day following the tax quarter end, we will withdraw the taxes owed from your account; so, we can file and pay on your behalf.
Note: Federal and State quarters do not always follow the same schedule. See below for the breakdown of quarters.
Federal Quarters
Q1: January 1 - March 31
Q2: April 1 - May 31
Q3: June 1 - August 31
Q4: September 1 - December 31
State Quarters
Q1: January 1 - March 31
Q2: April 1 - June 30
Q3: July 1 - September 30
Q4: October 1 - December 31
Note: Some states do not follow a quarterly schedule. For example, Virginia state income, Connecticut state income and Georgia state unemployment filings are conducted on an annual basis. Also, D.C. and Indiana income tax is reported and paid monthly. Illinois income tax filing deadlines follow the federal filing schedule. The timing applicable to your state will be noted on your My Poppins page.
Taxes Owed
This section will always display the federal, state and local (if applicable) taxes owed for the current period. This reflects the amounts that you will owe, and we will collect from you, at the end of the tax period. This is a great place to easily log in and check your current liability for the quarter.
Note: This number is calculated to include closed, processed, and open payroll.
Alerts
At the bottom of the page, you’ll also find alert messages relating to your payroll, like the deadline for making your next payroll adjustment.
