The IRS divides the general tax year into four reporting quarters of three months each. The first quarter is January, February and March. The second quarter is April, May and June. The third quarter is July, August and September. The fourth quarter is October, November and December. The fourth quarter of the general tax year ends for revenue on Dec. 31.
The end of the quarter refers to the conclusion of one of four specific three-month periods on the financial calendar. The four quarters end in March, or Q1; June, or Q2; September, or Q3; and December, or Q4. These are considered important times for investors. Many businesses, analysts, government agencies and the Federal Reserve all release critical new data about various markets or economic indicators at the end of a quarter.
