why don't quarterly estimates for 2026 show up?

If your 2026 quarterly estimates are not showing, you can try the steps listed below. The 2026 vouchers are for your own planning and are not submitted to the IRS with your 2025 return. If the software continues to show "something went wrong," you can also manually fill out Form 1040-ES using your 2025 tax data as a guide. 

 

  1. Clear you browser's cache and cookies and log back in. Please click here for instructions on how to clear your cache. Please click here for instructions on clearing your cookies.
  2. If you are using TurboTax Desktop, check for any updates. You can manually check for updates for  your TurboTax program by clicking on "Online" in the black bar near the top of your screen and selecting "Check for Updates."
  3. Sometimes going away from the screen and going back to it or deleting and re-entering can fix the error.
  4. Try going back to Other Tax Situations, Other tax Forms, Form W-4 and estimated tax forms and click start or update and go through the screens again.

If you are self-employed, you may have to complete your 2025 Schedule C (E, F) for these to generate.

If you’re at risk for an underpayment penalty next year, we'll automatically calculate quarterly estimated tax payments and prepare vouchers (Form 1040-ES) for you to print.    But you can generate them if TurboTax did not.   @michaellors      Use the instructions linked below.
