The ask
Sent verbatim as the prompt. The agent works in a copy of the workspace below and sees nothing else.
Tallyrun stopped making our federal payroll tax deposits, so I have to catch up in EFTPS myself. Work out every deposit for the payroll runs in the folder the way Walter's email explains and save it as deposits.csv.
