Estimated tax payment

I just used Turbo Tax and filed  my 2021 taxes and owed around $500 Federal Tax. I was shocked that when I printed out my returns it printed out payment vouchers due for each quarter for the next year. Per information I found on the IRS site if you owe less than $1000 you do not have to make estimated taxes. Last year (2020) I also owed around $500 and it did not print out estimated tax payments so I am confused why it would print them out for 2021.

 

Why did it print them out this year and do I have to pay since I owed less than $1000.00

 

Thank to anyone with an answer but I mainly need to know if I can just ignore the payment vouchers since I owed less then $1000.
