Remember when I said we would have $25 in the family checking account today? Well, I'd forgotten to record a $31.50 check. Oops.

But that and a few other checks haven't been presented to the bank yet, and I deposited the paycheck today, so I think we'll just squeak through. But this isn't comfortable.

On the plus side, I realized that I don't have to pay quarterly estimated taxes until October, which alleviates the problems of the moment slightly. It doesn't really solve any problems, of course, but it makes things better right now.

Why not until October? I thought they were due 15 September (I have to pay estimateds, too, bleh).

No, they're due 15 days after each quarter, not during the last month of the quarter. You get to make your first estimated payment at the same time you send in the annual check.

You are right and I was wrong. http://ftp.fedworld.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p505.pdf says that it's September 15. I thought that summer was the long quarter, not fall.

Oops. My apologies. (Gee, I guess I should dig out those coupons.)

I thought so.

Only because I live my life by what the stupid document says, and I wrote it in my day planner in January.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Well, better to know now.
Ouch. This is going to sting a bit.

Can I help in any way?

Have you any talents at bank robbery?

Unfortunately, no.

I just wrote out checks for my estimateds this morning. But I would imagine that yours are much more than mine.

I will try to will a few bags of money to your doorstep.
