DOR's Office of Tax Research page states that collections are generally one month after the activity and distributions two months after the activity, so sales_month = distribution month minus 2 (derived). Form 3 fallback receipts: sales_month = receipt month minus 1 (derived). DOR posts the Form 4 workbook several months after distribution, so the latest sales month is usually 7 to 9 months old.
