You will get the option at the end of your state tax preparation.   You can enter your expected income and deductions in TurboTax or Tax Caster to get a feel for 2025's taxes.   

 

In TurboTax, you can go through the estimated taxes for next year section.   If you already filed your return, you will need to click on Add A State at the bottom of the home page to access your return.    You can do this for your federal taxes and your state taxes, if applicable.  

 

Estimate next year's state taxes

 

If you need to enter the estimated tax you paid in 2024.   Follow these instructions to make sure you are entering them in the correct spot.   You enter estimates paid for federal and state in this section.

I also traditionally have to pay Estimated taxes every year.  This year Turbo Tax did NOT provide my CA State estimated payments, only Federal.  I do not see anywhere where I can find / generate my Estimated CA state payments following the posted instructions.  Please advise how to navigate to generate so I do not have to pay penalties.

Have you tried TurboTax MarilynG1's suggested instructions yet?:

 

if you're in TurboTax Online, in the FILE section, you are asked if you want to 'view/print/save' your return.  Choose Yes, and you'll have a PDF of all your forms and worksheets saved to your desktop for review.
