Serious disappointment. Dividing what I owe by 4 and giving me vouchers is ZERO value. Taking my information and giving me a W-4 form pre-entered for new withholding is.

What am I missing?  I went to their w4 calculator when signed in, it did not have my info. I sign in there and it takes me back to the tax home. Very disappointed.  Thoughts? Suggestions? Pointers to where this is done for us?

To prepare estimates for next year you need to be in your  current return.  If you can't get your return open, Try this, you can sign back onto your account, click on Add a State.  This should get you back into your return.  Be very careful not to change anything in your  actual return.  

You can just type W4 in the search box at the top of your return , click on Find. Then Click on Jump To and it will take you to the estimated tax payments section. Say no to changing your W-4 and the next screen will start the estimated taxes section.

Thank you!  This *workaround* did work.  "Add a State" is the required hack to do a W4 after filing.
The other answer only works *before* filing which is precisely the problem.
Calculating W4s should be an automatic next step, not an afterthought that requires a hack workaround.

There was a bug in printing the W4. The results said choose 2-Single, the W4 printed 2-Married!
