Yes, it is true that Estimated Payments are suggested and not required to be made.
You can estimate your tax bracket, for example say your in the 22% tax bracket, then make estimated payments based on that percentage.
No, there is no receipt sent. Pay with a credit card or check so you have proof of payment.
You can setup an account on the IRS "Your Online Account" to view payments made.
