My 2025 Form 1040-ES Payment Vouchers have "DO NOT FILE FORM NOT FINAL" printed on them. What should I do?

Can I use the 2025 Form 1040-ES Payment Vouchers that have "DO NOT FILE FORM NOT FINAL" printed on them?

They are expected to be ready 20 February

..........Or, go to the IRS website to download the PDF 1040ES forms to print out

https://www.irs.gov/forms-instructions

.............OR, go to the IRS website and pay online at their DirectPay area.

When will I be able to print my 1040ES vouchers

@thumes1 

Like I already indicated above.....after 20 February.

I don't know if they will automatically be corrected in a "New" download of your tax return's PDF file after 20 Feb....or you might have to get back into your actual file to get the proper print-out.

The IRS released the 2025 versions about a week ago.  So when will TurboTax update the form for my filing?

See answers posted above.

[Davidwc]

Yeah.  The answers above don't answer why it isn't available now or when it will be in TurboTax.  Just that the IRS will release on the 20th (which is inaccurate since they have been available from them all week, I'd prefer not to fill out the form but rather have the prefilled form.)  Please read what I wrote.  I already read what was above.  It did not address this specific question.

I just printed a Form 1040-ES Payment Voucher 1 for tax year 2025 and there was no "Do Not File" watermark on the PDF copy or the printed copy.

If you are using TurboTax for Windows, verify that you have the current program.  Click on Help at the top of the desktop program screen.  Click on About TurboTax.  Click on the Version tab.  It should be 024.000.0308

yes, I am the same version with the ....0308 and have the same "Do Not File watermark, my question was if anyone had a new release date, a previous poster said it was due Feb 20

The fix was in the 02/20/2025 update download.  You should have the release date listed in your Installed Updated list.  Click on Online and click on View Installed Updates.  The last update should be listed as a Program Update Released on 02/19/2025.
