I am expecting self employment income in 2021 for the first time. When I log into my Intuit account, I have access to 1040 for 2020. How do I access 2021 1040ES?

You can print next year's estimated tax vouchers (Form 1040-ES) in your 2020 program:

1. With your tax return open, search for 1040-es (be sure to include the dash) and select the Jump to link.
2. Answer No to the question Do you want to change your W-4 withholdings for 2021?
3. Answer the questions about things like your 2021 filing status, income, and deductions.
4. Eventually, you'll come to the Print Vouchers? screen. Answer Yes and we'll include your 2021 1040-ES payment vouchers when you print a copy of your return later.
   • If you get the No Payments screen instead, you don't need to make 2021 estimated payments based on what you entered.

For state estimated taxes, see Can TurboTax calculate the estimated payments for next year's state taxes?

 

If you receive significant non-wage income, such as from self-employment or investments, you will likely need to pay quarterly estimated taxes or run the risk of underpayment penalties in addition to a large year-end tax bill.

 

If you’re at risk for an underpayment penalty next year, we'll automatically calculate your estimated tax payments and prepare 1040-ES vouchers that include the payment due date.
