If you don't want to mail paperwork each quarter, you can pay at the IRS website using IRS Direct Pay out of your bank account. There is no fee to pay out of your bank account. There IS a fee, however, if you pay by debit or credit card. If you pay there, be sure to indicate the correct tax year, and to print out the confirmation page for your records.

Or you can set up an account at EFTPS and pay quarterly out of your bank account with no fee.
The Treasury offers the free EFTPS (Electronic Federal Tax Payment System). You can make 1040-ES payments electronically, as well as other Federal tax payments including balances due on your annual Form 1040, etc. You have to set it up in advance with your banking info at the website. Once you enroll and they verify your info, the Treasury will send you a PIN in the mail, which you use each time you make a payment. The payment is then debited from your bank account. You can set up multiple payments in advance, or even make extra payments. Once you set it up, you can even make tax payments by phone, and you don't have to mail in any paper 1040-ES forms. You can print out confirmations or download the confirmation as a PDF. Read more at the sites below.
