That depends on your situation. The rule is that you must pay your taxes as you go.

If at filing time, you have not paid enough income taxes through withholding or quarterly estimated payments, you may have to pay a penalty for underpayment.

To determine whether you need to make quarterly estimates, answer these questions:

Do you expect to owe less than $1,000 in taxes for the tax year after subtracting your federal income tax withholding from the total amount of tax you expect to owe this year? If so, you're safe—you don't need to make estimated tax payments.
Do you expect your federal income tax withholding (plus any estimated taxes paid on time) to amount to at least 90 percent of the total tax that you will owe for this tax year? If so, then you're in the clear, and you don't need to make estimated tax payments.
Do you expect that your income tax withholding will be at least 100 percent of the total tax on your previous year's return? Or, if your adjusted gross income (Form 1040, line 8b) on your tax return was over $150,000 ($75,000 if you're married and file separately), do you expect that your income tax withholding will be at least 110 percent of the total tax you owed for the previous year? If so, then you're not required to make estimated tax payments.

If you answered "no" to all of these questions, you must make estimated tax payments using Form 1040-ES. To avoid a penalty, your total tax payments (estimated taxes plus withholding) during the year must satisfy one of the requirements we just covered.

If you are not required to pay estimated tax then just disregard the vouchers.

Turbo Tax is generating Estimated Tax vouchers to help you avoid the underpayment penalty in 2021. This is probably based on your underpayment in 2020, which may or may not be relevant to your tax situation in 2021.

You are not required to use them.

You should consider whether you will face an underpayment penalty in 2021. Based on that, you have many choices. You can toss the vouchers in the shredder and just pay online. You can pay a different amount than what TT suggests, if you think that is appropriate. Or you can not pay at all, and deal with the penalty.
