Unless a TurboTax Desktop program
determines that you are required to pay estimated taxes (i.e. an amount >
$0), it will not prepare "blank" 1040-ES Payment
Vouchers.
If, however, you prepare vouchers that result in actual estimated payment amounts, you can go to Forms View (Desktop programs only) and override those amounts to display "0" or just blank (enter a "." in the overridden field).
Typically, we strongly discourage any use of the Override feature since it can void our Accuracy Guarantee. Since the Estimated Payment vouchers are technically not part of your tax return, the Accuracy Guarantee should not be an issue.
You have other choices that don't involve using the override feature in your main tax file:
First, you can play around
with the Form W-4 & estimated taxes interview to generate a minimal
amount of estimated tax due, print the Form 1040ESs, and make a "pen
and ink" change to the amount when you decide how much you want to pay
(cross out the printed amount and write-in the desired amount). This will
give you a voucher filled in with your personal information. You can then re-enter your actual estimate numbers in the interview.
Alternatively, you can
print blank 1040-ESs from the IRS website and complete them manually. See: 2017
1040-ES
Finally, you could also create a new return in TurboTax, save it with name "Zero Estimate", enter your personal information, complete the Estimate interview with a large Self-employment income and then override the resulting 1040-ES amounts to "0".
