When you prepare your 2018 return, TurboTax will automatically calculate your 2019 estimated tax payments and prepare 1040-ES vouchers if the program thinks you may be at risk for an underpayment penalty next year. You may have not needed them but you can go back through to prepare your estimated taxes.
You can calculate your 2019 Federal estimated taxes and generate the payment vouchers by doing this:
Your 2019 Estimated State tax vouchers can be prepared through TurboTax. This is will be in the State section. As you go through your state, near the end, it will ask about estimated tax payments for the state.

We can tell you how to open your return back up to go through the estimated taxes interview and print out 2019 Form 1040-ES vouchers.
NOTE: When you open your return back up, do not make any changes in the return itself if it's already been filed. It's OK to go through the estimated taxes interview.
You can go through the section "W-4 and Estimated Taxes" to figure your customized 1040-ES quarterly tax payments for 2019. There is also a place in that interview to enter what you have already paid for 2019 (if applicable), and it will let you include any expected income changes or any other changes you have for 2019.
Also be aware that you have other payment options for quarterly estimated payments that involve no paperwork, checks, etc. The Treasury has a site called EFTPS.gov where many types of tax payments can be made, including quarterly estimated taxes or tax due from a Form 1040, etc. You have to open an account and get a PIN (which they send in postal mail). It's a free service. https://www.eftps.gov/
Or if you don't want to open an account at EFTPS, you can use IRS Direct Pay at the irs.gov website, which allows you to make 1040-ES payments directly out of your bank account (free) and to print out a confirmation.

As for state estimated tax vouchers, first look in the Print Center (steps below) to see if they were already prepared, and if not, I'll also tell you below how to get them.
NOTE: When you open your return back up, do not make any changes in the return itself if it's already been filed.
If the state estimated tax vouchers are not there, see this FAQ below. You can go to the end of the state interview to acquire them, but don't make any changes in the return itself if it's already been filed.
