No, you don't have to pay estimated taxes, even if TurboTax included 1040-ES vouchers with your tax return.
Making estimated payments is always voluntary, and any vouchers that TurboTax generates for you are for your convenience. They don't get transmitted to the IRS with your tax return.
That being said, if you owe more than $1,000 when you file your tax return, you may owe a penalty.
If you want to force TurboTax to not include 1040-ES vouchers with your tax return:
- Sign in to your TurboTax account
- Select Other Tax Situations.
- Expand Other Tax Forms and find Form W-4 and Estimated Taxes, click Start or Revisit to the right.
- Answer No to the question Do you want to change your W-4 withholdings for 2024?
- Select Review Now on the next screen.
- Answer the questions about your 2024 filing status, expected income, and deductions.
- When you come to the Print Vouchers? screen, answer No.
- Continue through the end of the section.
