Since you have not made any estimated payments for 2019 you can prepare your tax return and see the amount that will be due. To make estimated payments for 2020 you can take the amount you owed for 2019 and divide that by 4 to make the estimated payments due for 2020. If you believe your overall income will be greater TurboTax allows you to enter the increase in income and will calculate the additional tax due when preparing your estimated payments for 2020.
