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.
There are four quarters in the year: January, February, and March make up the first quarter, for example. To convert monthly data to quarterly data, therefore, we need to average monthly data three at a time. As an example of this process, we downloaded monthly data from FRED on the 10-year treasury constant maturity rate. See the ObtainingQtrlyData.xls workbook. The first step is to number each month. To do this we inserted a new column in the data worksheet as column A. The data reaches back to April, 1953 which became month 0. May 1953 became month 1, June became month 2, and so on. The second step was finding our three month averages.
