"It looks like the IRS is charging me for not paying the estimated tax for next year. "
Wrong ... the IRS doesn't know anything about the 2020 estimates that were suggested by the program. The program calculates an estimated underpayment penalty for not paying estimates in 2019 based on the information you entered however the fed/state reserves the right to calculate the penalty using the info they have on hand including the date you filed and when you paid the balance due. That is what the current bill is all about ... 2019 not 2020.
As already mentioned the 1040-ES that the program calculated was to keep you from owning again in 2020 and can be ignored if you wish.
