Is there updated 1040 - ES payment vouchers yet? I need to know this as the ones that came with my tax returns say DO NOT FILE across the face of the voucher. Thanks

they were updated months ago.   open your return then you can save as pdf and print. if still having problems 

you can download and from IRS website

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

page 11  vouchers 2 and 3 page 9 voucher 4

or you can use IRS Direct Pay. nothing to mail. you can print a receipt with an identifier. select reason: estimated tax. you can even submit the request immediately but select a future date for the amount to be withdrawn. The next estimate tax payment is due 9/15/2022

As Mike9241 mentioned above, if you wish, you can pay electronically at the IRS Direct Pay website directly from your bank account and without needing to mail any paperwork.   If you do pay that way, print out the confirmation page for your records.   There is no fee if you pay by ACH withdrawal from your bank account.   There is a fee if you choose to pay by credit/debit card.

Otherwise, if you do want to get your customized paper 1040-ES forms without the watermark, there is an alternative way to get a more-recent PDF that should have all the forms without the "Do Not File" watermark.   You get it by opening your return back up and going through the steps below.

NOTE:  When you open your return back up, do not make any changes in it if it's already been filed.  If you later have to amend the return, it has to start off exactly as it was when it was originally filed.

• Log in and at the Tax Home or in the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents" for 2021, look for a link "Add a State."
• Click on "Add a State."  (you don't really add one.  That's just to open your return back up.)
• After the return is open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then PRINT CENTER.
• Then choose "Print, save, view this year's return."
• The next screen should offer some options:  "Just my tax returns", or "include government worksheets (optional)", or "include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional.)"
•  The latter has the most pages.

NOTE:  Remember all PDF tax documents and tax data files are very sensitive files, since they contain your personal ID info, financial data, and possibly bank account numbers, etc.  Be sure to store them safely and securely to guard against computer theft, hacking, etc.
