Why does my return have payment voucher's for next year's return? I have not seen this on previous returns?

The 1040ES vouchers are optional. If you expect to owe at least $1000 next year then using those vouchers to make estimated quarterly payments during 2025 can help you avoid a big tax bill and/or an underpayment penalty at tax time for 2025. You do not have to use them if you choose not to.
