I currently purchased TurboTax Deluxe, but I am not sure if it will allow me to do 2018 quarterly tax estimates. I plan on re-computing my quarterly tax liabilities during the 2018 year to minimize my taxes for April 2019.

The 2017 TurboTax program will have the estimated tax Form 1040-ES for 2018 available once the IRS approves the forms. The program will have the section updated for estimating 2018 taxes after the IRS has issued the worksheets which are included for the 1040-ES.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for IRS forms availability (dates subject to change) - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1908854-irs-forms-availability-table-for-turbotax-individual-perso...

Note - The TurboTax 2017 software was updated for the 2018 Form 1040-ES.

Simply open your return in your 2017 desktop program and click on Forms in the upper right. Then Click on Open Form which is just above the list of forms in your return on the left. Then type the word what in the empty search bar right above 2017 US Form 1040. What-if worksheet appears below. Click on it to open it.
