Serious question, did anyone else miss the quarterly tax deadline this April?

I just got a penalty notice for $127 because I mixed up my payment dates. My calendar reminder was set for the wrong month. How do you guys keep track of all the different due dates?

Try a separate calendar just for tax dates.

Ever tried color coding instead? I made a shared family calendar and just tagged all the tax stuff in bright red. That way it pops out but I'm not checking a whole other app. The visual cue is enough to remind me without making things more complicated.

My calendar would just be a single page for April 15th lol.

Oh man, a friend of mine actually tried this last year. She made a whole separate Google calendar just for tax deadlines and quarterly payments. But then she forgot to even check that calendar until like July because it wasn't synced with her main one. @the_faith is right that it's easy to just ignore everything til April 15th, but her approach backfired bad - she almost missed an extension filing.
