Even though I would list it on my forms with the date the last payment was made, for YEARS she would leave off that last estimated payment and count it as not paid.

Every. Single. Year. For. YEARS.

So I dated the check on December 31. even if I mailed it two weeks later, just so the moron would "see" it as being paid in the "correct" year.

I was so happy when she retired and was no longer handling my paperwork.

Since I closed my business, I no longer do estimated tax payments so I have won twice over on that account!
