Do not File Form not Final 2025

We e-filed our federal form and then went to print it and it states on our copy "Do not file form not final". Then I noticed vouchers paying over 4 different times and we wanted to pay at once and told it to. Please advise. This is the first year we have ever had these issues with Turbo Tax.

    The Form 1040-ES are for paying 2026 estimated taxes.  You do not have to use those if you do not wish to do so.  They are not reported to the IRS and would have to be mailed with a check to the IRS if you ever decided to use those forms.

     

    If you have 2025 federal taxes owed go to this IRS payment website to make a payment - https://www.irs.gov/payments

    We are using the 1040 with schedule A tax form.

    How do you get the "do not file form not final" off our copies?

    We only owe taxes for 2025 and there are not penalties, we are paying it 100% at once. That is what we selected but have no clue why it's taken the payment and split it up over 4 payments to be paid.

    @KGLJK As stated, the Form 1040-ES are for paying 2026 estimated tax payments that would be included on your 2026 tax return which is filed in 2027. 

    Those forms have absolutely nothing to do with your 2025 tax return nor payment for any 2025 federal taxes owed.
