About Closebooks

Fixes a bug that showed $0.00 as your quarterly set-aside when money was owed. Between the 1st and the 15th of September — and the same fortnight before every other quarterly deadline — the set-aside on Home and at the top of the Taxes tab read $0.00 for a payment that was genuinely due. An IRS period ends about two weeks before its payment date: the June-to-August period is payable on September 15. The app was showing the tax on the period you are currently in, under a label naming the deadline for the period that just closed. Two different quarters, one number. The quarterly table itself was always right. On the Taxes tab, the row for each period showed the correct figure the whole time — so the number you needed was one screen away, disagreeing with the headline above it. **Worth doing now if you have a payment due September 15:** open the Taxes tab and check the figure. If you set money aside based on the headline in the last two weeks, it may have been short. The same figure feeds Casey and the Get Set-Aside shortcut, so both were wrong in that window too. All of them now report the period whose payment is actually next due, which is what the date beside the number has always claimed. Also in this update: Marking a fee paid through Siri or the Shortcuts app didn't work the way the button in the app does. It recorded no payment and left the due date in the past, so the fee sat on "Due" permanently, couldn't be undone from the Fees screen, and answered "already marked paid" every time you asked again. Your deduction still counted — the fee was just stuck. Fees marked paid this way from now on record a payment and move to their next due date, exactly like tapping Paid. The "Mark a fee as paid" step on the Home checklist never ticked off for a repeating fee — dues, MLS access, a desk fee — which is most of them. It does now. And opening a paid subscription's details called it "due" while the row behind it said Paid, and Casey described repeating fees you had paid as still owed while counting them in your deduction totals. Both now say the same thing as everything else.
