Hi - Why does my tax return include 2026 Estimated Payment vouchers ? I never made quarterly tax pmts before. Am I required to make these quarterly estimated tax payments?

Hi - I just finished my 2025 Returns and noticed a section about Estimated Payments for 2026 appears on the page of the filing instructions. Why does my tax return include 2026 Estimated Payment vouchers? This is the first time I have seen it and never paying quarterly tax pmts before. Am I required to make these quarterly estimated tax payments? Is it for information only or mandatory to pay?

Please advise.

Thanks,

Jessica

Those forms are for your use only. They are not mandatory and the IRS does not receive these forms when you file your tax return.
