Estimated data


4.  Are estimates acceptable?

Yes, estimates are acceptable if book figures are not readily available. In fact, we would prefer to receive timely estimates rather than late book figures.

5.  I reported estimates last quarter; do you want my book figures now?

Yes, we always want to improve our data.
If you have reported electronically, you can first check to see if the form for that quarter is still online. If it is, you can simply replace your estimates with the book figures.
If it is no longer online or if you did not report your estimates over the internet, you can call 1-800-772-7851 to report or you can write the book figures in the 'Remarks Section' on the next quarter's form.
