2026 estimated tax calculations not shown in return

youngbada — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 20:37:00 GMT

I've paid estimated taxes forever. Turbo Tax has always included in their face sheet the amount of quarterly payments and due dates. This has been done for US and state taxes.

This year my return does not indicate the estimated taxes for 2026. Has that been eliminated?

The only change I made this year is using Turbo Tax for Apple instead of Windows.

How can I obtain this information?

These quarterly payment coupons are called estimated tax vouchers, and if you search for them in your Mac software using form title 1040-ES, you'll be able to find and print them as normal:

Follow these steps to print next year's estimated tax vouchers (Form 1040-ES):

if you're not seeing ES summary page and vouchers in your return it could be that Turbotax has determined you don't owe it.

In Forms mode go to Open Form then "Estimated Tax Payment Options" if the form "Est Tax Options" is not in the list by default and that will show you what is going on. Turbotax by default will assume safe harbor calculation based on 100/110% of 2025 tax and that your 2026 withholding will be the same as 2025.

Under Other Tax Situations / Form W4 and Estimated Taxes you can work through options if needed.
