Estimated Tax Payments - Initial Software Version Only Payments for Current Year
1

To calculate estimated tax payments needed for the current tax year (available only in the early-release version of the software):

  1. From within your TaxAct return, click Federal. On smaller devices, click the menu in the top left corner of your screen, then click Federal.
  2. Click 2025 Estimated Tax Payments, then click Yes.
  3. Continue with the interview process to enter your information.

After the final filing version of the 2025 TaxAct program is released in January 2026, the program can only calculate or print vouchers for estimated tax payments related to the 2025 tax return.

To calculate the payment for 1/15/26 or print the voucher, use your 2024 TaxAct program. You can then print the voucher to mail the payment to the IRS or use EFTPS Online.

To print Form 1040-ES after it has been filed, go to Print Center > Custom Print > Choose Federal Form 1040-ES.
