        <PARA>These two codes, from the same payer, are not

      <LISTITEM><PARA><EMPHASIS>Code: N521 "  F1040 \ Federal estimated
        tax, qrtrly"</EMPHASIS></PARA>

        <PARA>Does not accept the date field and does not import the
        individual payment amounts, only the total. The date and
        individual payment amounts, only matter if you have to compute
        the penalty. (this may be a TurboTax enhancement)

    <ITEMIZEDLIST>
      <LISTITEM><PARA><EMPHASIS>Code: N521 "  F1040 \ Federal estimated
        tax, qrtrly"</EMPHASIS></PARA>

        <PARA>Does not accept the dates outside of the tax year. This is
        a problem for the last payment that is due Jan 15.  GnuCash
        changes the the date of the last payment to Dec 31. The user
        will have to adjust for this after import. The date only matters
        if you have to compute the penalty.

      <LISTITEM><PARA><EMPHASIS>Duplicate Codes</EMPHASIS></PARA>

        <PARA>Most codes are not supposed to appear more than once.
        GnuCash issues an error message if it detects this, but will
        still export the data.  These are not handled the same by TaxCut
        and TurboTax.</PARA>

        <ITEMIZEDLIST>

          <PARA>Keeps only the <EMPHASIS>LAST</EMPHASIS> of the
