Well I am happy that Intuit make it easier for you.  Ethics brings back memories of philosophy, so I am also going to leave that alone.  

 

If you are comfortable paying the penalty, I am not going to talk you out of it.  With that said, I personally feel the biggest negative is cash management or cash flow.  Having to make a large payment once a year can cause financial stress, and if the payment cannot be made, either at all or in full, additional penalties and interest will accrue.  Budgeting a smaller payment four times a year is a better budgeting tool, which means that you can use your hard earned money better during the course of the year.

 

Thank you so much for your question @SyberKnight and I will now try and forget about philosophy course from some time ago!

 

Be well and safe!
