A 1040ES is an actual paper form that can be used if you are mailing in a check or money order. You do not need to use a 1040ES to make an estimated payment online. If you make those payments online, you need to keep your own accurate records of how much you paid so that when you prepare your tax return at tax time, you can enter how much you paid during the year.
At tax time:
Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid>Other Income Taxes
