When to make tax payment for Roth conversion?
As before - my current pension withholding will not cover my tax liability with a conversion. I am likely to owe about an additional $5K to Ca. and about $12K to Fed.

When to make tax payment for Roth conversion?
You are smart to plan. You can pay online at the time of your conversion. This will be an estimated payment for the 4th Quarter. You can also mail in a 4th Quarter 1040-ES voucher to the IRS by January 15, 2019. The same would apply to your California return.
As you already know, when it comes to making estimated payments all that matters is that you have enough paid in for the quarter. It can be from withholding through a pension or other income sources. You could also ask the IRA custodian to withhold the tax. However, this is generally not advised as this will reduce the amount of the tax-exempt income now working for you in your Roth.

When to make tax payment for Roth conversion?
I did a roth conversion on September 5 2019 and need to file an estimated tax for Federal and State. Can I do that electronically from my Turbo Tax 2018 which I downloaded and make the payments online or do I have to do something else?
THanks

And...of course...if needed, you can get blank 4Q estimated forms for your own state, or arrange a direct debit for your state, by accessing and searching thru your state's tax website Online.
