No, giving birth is neither a casualty even or unusual circumstance. In order for the state to withhold taxes, you would need to make a request for them to do so. The state of WA has stated multiple times, they are unsure if the PMFL will be taxable to the individuals, therefore, they would not withhold taxes, when it may not be taxable.
You would be responsible for contacting the state to have them withhold taxes and if they do not, then you would be responsible for making estimated tax payments to the IRS. You can use a tax estimate like Tax Caster or use the estimated tax planner in the Other Tax Situations section of TurboTax to determine how much withholdings you should have.
In the meantime, if you are unable to pay your taxes in full, you should still file by April 18th, but you can apply for a payment plan from the IRS. When you get to the end of TurboTax, prior to hitting file, it will give you the option to apply.
