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.

For example, the fourth fiscal quarter of 2016 might be abbreviated as Q4 2016, Q4/16 or Q416.
