Virginia Underpayment Penalty triggered

My client has made VA estimated tax payments of $ 39,884 (in total) during 2023. His total VA tax liability came to $43,362 meaning he only owes $3,386. His returns however shows $1,710 for underpayment. I double checked and made sure I'd entered his estimated payments. I don't know where this penalty is coming, aside from the amount that is very high compared to what he owes, since he made estimated payments, he should not owe any penalties.

Were the estimates paid evenly during the year or did the client pay more at the end of the year which means he was short early on?

He missed the first payment and paid double for the last one. Would that trigger this much of penalty?

That could do it.
