You can use TurboTax to assist you with the appropriate estimates and you may also be able to generate the vouchers (this will depend on just how much data entry you wish to do).
If you want to do the minimal amount of data entry, then complete just your basic info in an account at TurboTax.com, skip to the section for Estimates (explained in more detail below) and then use THIS form-fillable version of the 1040-ES to type up and print your vouchers.
After you set up your basic information in the Personal Info section of the program (this is the initial interview) follow these steps to create the vouchers:
- Using the search tool in the upper right of the program search for the term "W-4" (without quotations, even though this isn't what you are going to be working on)
- Click on the Jump to link that appears in the search results
- Answer No to the first question about whether you would like to adjust your W=$
- Click on Review Now to walk through the steps to prepare your estimated tax payment vouchers
TurboTax will ask questions about your tax filing status, age, and expected income to assist you in preparing the vouchers. For TurboTax to print the vouchers, you will have to enter enough data for it to complete a tax return for you (it doesn't necessarily have to represent your actual return) and then you can select only the voucher pages.
However, the less labor intensive option will likely be to transfer the amounts to the forms and print them outside of the program.
