Should I pay the 1040-es form attached to my return prepared with turbotax? I do not understand why I have such a form.

Our income was from our W2 employments, except for some capital gains for this year. I do not understand why we would have to file such forms. Is this something that we can ignore?

Yes, you can ignore the Form 1040-ES if you do not plan to pay any estimated taxes in 2023.

Those 1040ES vouchers are optional to use for making quarterly estimated payments for tax year 2023.  If you expect to owe at least $1000 at tax time next year then using them can help you avoid an underpayment penalty and a big tax bill to pay all at once.  But you are not required to use them... if you do not want to, then discard them.
