    You only can do that in the Desktop installed program.  Otherwise you can print out the blank 1040ES and fill out the amounts you want. 

    https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040es.pdf 

     

    Or pay the IRS directly online.  Be sure to pick 2023 1040ES payment

    I have the installed desktop version of Turbo tax.   I can't seem to access a "form" page where I can change the amounts of the 1040-es payments for 2023 rather than use the automated amounts Turbo tax is giving me.  Where do I find this page to change the amounts manually?

    Here are my old notes.  Should still work for 2022.  You can play around with the Est Tax worksheet.  

     

    Go to Forms Mode. Click Forms in the top right (left for Mac). Look though your forms in the left column for Est Tax Options about 3/4 way down near the bottom of the federal forms.

     

    If you don't see Est Tax Options listed in the column of your forms on the left side, then click the Open Form box at the top of the column and then on the right side click on Open the US Form 1040 list and scroll down near the bottom and click the plus sign by Estimated Taxes and Form W-4 Worksheet, then the plus sign by Estimated Tax Options. You can override the amounts.


    If you don't have any estimates prefilled out then on the Est Tax Options worksheet:
    Go to the Prepare Estimated Tax Payment Vouchers section and put a check mark in the second box for Even if the amount due is less than 1,000.


    Then you can put amounts in any of the 4 payment boxes in the next section. Click on the amount box on the right and it will turn Blue and type in an amount.

     

    Then at the bottom of the worksheet you click on quickzoom to the estimate you want to print out. The 1040ES payment voucher will open and you can print it out. Or you can over ride the amount directly on the 1040ES voucher.

     

    If the 1040ES payment voucher is completely blank, when you type in an amount on it then it will automatically fill out your name, etc. on it. To override or enter an amount just click on the amount box and it will turn Blue then you can type in an amount.
