Robert, "I'm no tax accountant, but I believe that as long as you pay one-fourth plus 5% of last year's tax bill that you meet all the IRS requirements for estimated taxes. Also, I believe that the first payment for 2000 is due 4/15/2000. Any tax accountants out there? [EDIT] That's one-fourth plus 5% each quarter."... Well, I should have know someone would call that. The payment date is indeed 4/15/2000. You are correct and I should have known better. I think... You can make estimated payments 1/4 of 105% (1999 safe harbor tax change) of the previous years tax per Q and avoid the penalty. This does not necessarily mean you don't pay on capital gains taken this year inside those payments.
