Couldn't the IRS issue a ruling that pre-paying 2018-local property tax in 2017 is a design to evade paying your correct 2018-federal income tax ... that is due on April 15, 2019 .... knowing it would probably get challenged in court of law.

So are you really trying to suggest that anyone who makes a financial decision that may benefit them from a tax perspective is engaging in illegal behavior? REALLY?

This happens all the time and why people/businesses itemize their returns and hire CPAs to give them advice on how to manage their finances in such a way to benefit them from a tax perspective. Nothing wrong with that.

So sorry Wal-Mart doesn't offer this service for $2.99.
