1040ES Jan 15 payment vs 2024 tax filing payment

I'm running into a scenario not yet experienced.  I've made the April/June/Sept estimated payments, but not yet the Jan 15 2024 1040 ES.  I'm still waiting on an answers to multiple questions on tax treatment of 2 investments LTCG vs ordinary income rates.  I won't have my Vanguard year end statement until late Feb in batch 2 of their document dump past the 1/29 first batch which will also clear up a lot of things once in hand.  Also waiting on answer via an FBAR/Swiss Life annuity distribution with no accompanying 1099R.  

 

I was told by a friend yesterday that I can bypass the 1/15 1040 ES payment date *if* I file my taxes on time and make the payment at that time.  Hope I described this properly I'm not a skilled wordsmith.  Basically can I hold out beyond the 1/15 ES payment date until Vanguard comes back with my year end documents/hear back from CPA to load into TT and then pay at that time of filing?  

 

Thank you TT
