How many times have you missed a tax payment because you forgot about the due date? How much of a penalty did you have to pay? Bet you really enjoyed paying that!
The following is an example of a partial list of tax due dates for Georgia. Personalize it (consult with a CPA for yours) and then use it to remind yourself of those special dates that you get to give more money to the government (accompanying high pitched screams are okay).

In Outlook, copy the list to a New Post in This Folder card. Then drag it to the Outlook calendar. Simply move it from date to date in your calendar to remind you of the payment due date.
In a paper system, copy the dates to a 3×5 card. Move it from date to date in your hanging folders (Calendar system) to remind you of the payment due date.
Believe me. The last thing you want to do is to get to know the IRS more intimately—and have to pay to do it.
