This division also applies to a taxpayer having a taxable year consisting of fewer than twelve months, at least one of which is in 2002, that ends before January 1, 2003. The first taxable year a taxpayer is subject to this chapter, the estimated taxes the taxpayer is required to remit under this section shall be based solely on the current taxable year and not on the liability for the preceding taxable year.
