My 2025 Form 1040_ES vouchers are stamped with a watermark that says: FORM NOT FINAL - DO NOT FILE What does this mean?

  1. It usually means that you have not yet paid the fee for doing your taxes. Once you pay the watermark will go away and you can file them.

Thank you for responding to my question. In my case, I have paid the fee, and my taxes have been submitted electronically.
