If I need to file an extension for 2018 taxes, will Turbotax be able to generate 1040 ES and CA540 ES forms for 1st quarter 2019?

Since I don't have all info necessary to complete my 2018 taxes, I need to file for an extension.  But how do I determine estimated payments for first quarter 2019, 1040 ES for federal and 540 ES for California, which are due 4/15/19?

You can prepare your returns as much as you can with the information you have and see what ES forms are generated in the system. Most people in your situation will do that, and then estimate what else they are getting to get a closer estimate for the vouchers. Once your return is officially prepared, you can compare what you sent versus what you should have sent an send the difference in with the next payment.
