Subfolders is a good alternative, better for reports over multiple years but
more maintenance creating and destroying folders.
If GNUCash wanted, they might make a magic subcategory /Prior to qualify the
date's year to year - 1, but that seems very tricky to code into every date
filter.
Automatic subfolder creation (and when empty deletion?) by year as an attribute
of the parent folder might work better, and support many such categories.

I like the idea -- I usually just "remember" that the Jan payment is for the
previous year. But if you're going to make sub-accounts under taxes, why not
use actual years? Taxes/Federal/2023 and Taxes/Federal/2024. Once a year is
done with, you can easily hide the account so that it doesn't show up in your
list of accounts.

I recently created ExpenseAccounts/Taxes/FederalEven and
ExpenseAccounts/Taxes/FederalOdd to allow me to get a meaningful report on
estimated tax and various tax withholding. The payments in Jan 2024 for 2023
estimated and later for 2-23 tax due do not clutter the reports on 2024 tax
year, and the 2022 items do not get into the 2023 report. Is there a better
way to deal with this?
