Can TurboTax submit 1040-ES

[BP991]

I have to pay estimated taxes soon (Jan 15) for Q4 2023 as a freelancer. I've entered my 1099 income and expenses, and TurboTax calculated a federal tax amount but I don't see how to submit 1040-ES through TurboTax. It's not in my forms list. I'm using TT for home and business. Could you help? Does TT for home and business allow submitting and paying 1040-ES?

It only prints out the 1040 ES for you to send in.   Or you can pay on the IRS website. Be sure to pick 2023 1040ES payment
https://www.irs.gov/payments

Are you using the 2022 program?  The 2023 program will print out the estimates for 2024.  Or you can fill out a blank 1040 ES  to mail in with your check.

If you are using the TurboTax 2023 desktop editions, any Form 1040-ES that is generated would be for tax year 2024.

There is no need for you to print and mail a Form 1040-ES to pay the 2023 estimated taxes.  You can use the IRS payment website for the 2023 estimated tax payment with Direct Pay - https://www.irs.gov/payments

You will receive a confirmation number from the IRS which can be used to verify your payment if ever questioned by the IRS.

You will need to report the 2023 estimated tax payment on your 2023 tax return.
