Why is there not a menu item in step-by-step to prepare federal estimates for 2019?

We should not have to search 1040-es and then jump to the worksheet. It should be in step-by-step where I thought it was in the past!

There is a step-by-step menu in TurboTax Premier for preparing 2020 estimated tax vouchers.  After you complete the Deductions & Credits section, you are taken to ''Other Tax Situations''.   Scroll down to Other Tax Forms.  Then select Start next to W-4 and estimated Taxes.  

The first question in the interview is for updating your W-4, you can say No.  The following screen will allow you to review your estimates for next year through the step-by-step interview mode.
