I'm having exactly the same problem you have described, i.e,, even though Turbo Tax calculated I have Taxable income in 2026 and a tax liability, it will not produce the Estimated Tax vouchers because it assumed that the Federal tax withheld in 2026 will be the same as it was in 2025. And that is not the case. I will have no Federal Tax withheld from W-2s in 2026 whereas I did in 2025.
I may not completely be understanding your solution. You suggested selecting W-4, which I have done. Ultimately, it results in the same Taxable Income and estimate tax payment as it did when I had selected "Estimates" (instead of W-4). And now TT produces the correct W-4 form; however, like you, I'm not interested in W-4. I just want the estimated vouchers. How do you get to the point of having Turbo Tax fill out the Estimated Tax Payment voucher if you select "W-4"? Even when I first go thru all the screens using W-4 selection and then start over selecting the "Estimates" selection, TT does not generate any Estimated Tax voucher forms.
