Thank you for your reply. Before starting with a different product, I suggest asking the question of your full service person: HOW do I get my 2022 estimated taxes done? However, you should understand that since you say your income varies wildly from quarter to quarter, and year to year, calculating your estimated taxes will likely need to be done on a quarterly basis. I suspect the turbotax 2021 products are set up to do this more on a once-and-done basis, and may not exactly fit your specific situation.
Given the above, I found the following site which describes how to produce 1040-ES reports from turbotax products: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/after-you-file/discussion/how-do-i-print-2022-1040-es/00/2489528
Personally, I purchased and used the 2021 Turbotax Deluxe Desktop software for my 2021 taxes. I have used TT Deluxe for years. I was able to follow the instructions in the above link and walked through the 1040-ES conversation. So, I verified this procedure is available in this product. (You may need a different product. For comparison of the products see https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/compare/desktop/ )
I use the desktop product vs the online product for various reasons. The one most pertinent here is that it allows you to save your 2021 tax file, make a copy of it (with a different name) and then revise and change it, to run "what-if" alternative scenarios to see how changes in income or deductions or exemptions would affect your (2021) taxes. I use this method as a proxy to estimate what my 2022 tax payments should be, and then manually file 1040-ES statements and payments.
Some end notes:
1) If you purchase a desktop product, it is likely that you may not be able to download the info from your 2021 taxes. As I understand it, TT is not set up to do that. I don't know why. This is just an advance notice. However, if desired, you could manually enter your 2021 data from your printed or online copy of your return. Given the variability of your income, this may or may not be useful.
2) I don't understand how the variability of your company's stock price impacts your income. You only pay capital gains or losses when you sell stock. Unless you are selling stock on a regular basis, I don't see how that affects your income.
3) If doing all this yourself seems to be too much, you always have the alternative of using an accountant or tax consultant to prepare your taxes, and provide advice.
