Why do negative amount ("paid") estimates still Pro Forma as "memo"?

[DatabaseRobert]

So in the TY2020 program you can input a calendar 2021 estimate voucher as a negative number, and it is considered "Paid".  (Even says that word right there on the schedule of estimated payments.)

But why, then, does the dollar amount pro forma into the next (tax year 2021) program as a memo amount?  Should it not go on the next line down, as actually having been paid?

I believe it is because we should still be confirming all payments were made and accepted. Possibly the already paid entry was somehow rejected. 

OR

Just because that is the way it is and you need to pick your battles.
