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

[Tom Route36]

Hi Liz,

I know what you're saying as far as GnuCash handling things "under the 
hood" once the transactions are setup.  The reason it's a bit annoying 
(at least once a year) is that I usually need to adjust the estimated 
payments each year.  So it would be easier to only have to adjust 2 
scheduled transactions, rather than having to edit and update 8 of them 
individually every year.

As I said, it's really minor.  But if anyone had come up with an easy 
way to handle these kinds of irregular schedules it would be useful to 
know about it.  Editing 2 each year is better than editing 8.  (Hey, 
I'll admit I'm lazy.)

Tom
