That depends on how much tax you owe when you file and some other factors. You can find the complete rules in IRS Form 1040-ES at this link:
Simple answer: No. When there is a jump in income from the previous year, you will not owe a penalty because you had a big amount of tax due.
The more complicated answer is: it depends on the details. If your withholding for 2017 is equal to or more than the tax for 2016, there will be no underpayment penalty (the 100% of previous year rule). Even if you owe an underpayment penalty, the penalty is minimal because it is calculated on the 100% of previous year rule.
