Canonical: https://sec-api.dev/questions/difference-between-10-k-and-10-q

> A 10-K is the annual report with audited financial statements; a 10-Q is the quarterly report for the first three fiscal quarters, with financial statements that are reviewed but not audited. There is no 10-Q for the fourth quarter because the 10-K covers it. Large accelerated filers file the 10-K within 60 days of year end and each 10-Q within 40 days of quarter end.
