You can just ignore them.  The estimated payments are totally optional to pay. TurboTax automatically prints Estimated Tax forms if they think you will owe in 2022.  The information is not sent to the IRS.  

 

To enter, edit or delete estimated taxes paid (Federal, State, Local) -

  1. Federal Taxes (Personal for Home and Business)
  2. Deductions and Credits
  3. Choose -  I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
  4. Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
  5. On Estimates, click on the start or update button
  6. Delete the payments you want removed

Just because they are there does not mean you have to use them.   If you are printing your tax return you can save it as a pdf and print out only the pages you want.   The 1040ES forms are optional to use.  If you expect to owe at least $1000 at tax time next year, using them can help you avoid an underpayment penalty.  You are not required to use them.

C'mon Intuit, add a suppress 1040-ES checkbox.  Not that hard to do.

I just filed max tax return and it had 4 of these vouchers attached to it. Does it cause any issues if I don’t make these payments now? Were the 1040 ES vouchers sent to IRS as well?

@shubhamarora1991 The 1040ES vouchers are not sent to the IRS.  They are optional for you to use if you want to make estimated quarterly payments for your 2024 tax in order to avoid a big tax bill next year or to avoid an underpayment penalty next year.   If you do not  want to make estimated payments or you do not expect to owe more than $1000 next year, you can ignore them.
