Why is the 1040-ES marked "do not file" "not final"? How do I get the final figures?

Those voucher forms were just updated and have now been finalized (today).   Make sure you desktop software is updated.   And if you are using TurboTax Online, be sure to clear your cache and delete cookies.   You can print the finalized forms from the Print Center.     How do I get a PDF of my return?

The figures are final.   The watermark was in the background only because the form was not finalized for use until today.   If you print the forms today, the ''do not file' should be gone.

Tried clearing cookies and cache for the browser; then a fresh login. Since that didn't fix the issue, I tried using a different browser on a different computer that had never accessed Intuit or TurboTax, but still get the watermarks, so the answer given was a good try, but incorrect.

I will wait a few days and try again on a 3rd computer and different browser. If the amount is correct even with the watermark still in place, I don't really need the payment coupons as I have the IRS do a direct debit.

ignoring the watermark (and yes it's best to just pay online anyway) whether the amount is "correct" depends your situation and whether you provided updates 2026 income information under Other Tax Situations / Form W4 and Estimated Taxes to optimize the method.

By default Turbo will assume the safe harbor amount for ES payments based on paying 100% of your 2025 tax and assuming 2026 withholding will be the same as 2025.  If your AGI is > 150K (or 75K if filing MFS) then it's 110% of 2025 tax.  Using prior year tax is a fixed quarterly amount since 2025 taxes are known, but you need to keep track of withholding assumptions, and the ES could be an over-estimate.  The other option is to pay 90% of 2026 tax but to determine that you have to work through the section and provide info for 2026 (or use other calculators) and then keep track of this estimate during the year.
