No the IRS does not send you anything. You had to keep track of those estimated payments yourself.
Do you not have bank or credit card records showing the amounts you paid? Do you need to find out how much you paid? You can check your online account with the IRS.

If you have an IRS Online Account or an account with the IRS' Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) system, you can see a history of payments made.
See the IRS' Your Online Account and EFTPS: The Electronic Federal Tax Payment System pages. These screens include instructions on creating these accounts, if you don't already have them.
TURBOTAX: Can you make this item higher on the list. I had to go to user submitted help to find the step by step instructions. thanks! (It's on the third page - really?)
You can get the estimated tax payments you made by going to the IRS. You can check your IRS Online Account or create one to see your payment history. A tax account transcript will give you information about estimated payments that have been applied to your account. This can be very helpful for estimated payments or to get a copy of your return after it's been filed.
You can check your bank account and/or credit and debit card statements for the amounts you paid as well.
