[GNC] Any Simpler Way to Schedule Irregular Estimated Tax Payments?

[Tom Route36]

Hi all,

This is a really minor how-to question; but I'm just throwing it out 
here to see if maybe there's a better way of doing this.  I make 
estimated tax payments 4 times a year to the federal and my state tax 
office.  The due dates are April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 
15 -- so intervals of 2 months, 3, months, and 4 months apart.  GnuCash 
lets you schedule recurring transactions; but only a fixed number of 
months apart (as far as I can tell).

So what I've done is setup 8 scheduled transactions on those exact dates 
-- 4 for federal (with equal amounts), and 4 for state (with equal 
amounts).  What I'd really prefer though is having just 2 scheduled 
transactions -- 1 for federal, and 1 for state.  The complication though 
is how to schedule those irregular monthly intervals.

Is there anyway in GnuCash to schedule a single transaction to occur 
with a variable frequency like this?  Or to maybe ask it somewhat 
differently, is there a way to schedule a single transaction to occur 
repeatedly but only on specific dates during the year?

I know this isn't a big issue.  But I'm just wondering if it's possible 
to combine those 8 scheduled transactions into just 2.  Any advice would 
be appreciated.

Tom
