Look at the vouchers carefully.   Do they say "1040ES" and have 2021 dates on them?   Those vouchers are for paying estimated quarterly tax for the 2021 tax year, to help you avoid a big tax bill next year for 2021 and avoid an underpayment penalty.   If you expect to owe at least $1000 at tax time next year, using those vouchers can help you pay some 2021 tax ahead of time and avoid a big bill next year.

 

You are not required to use them, so if you do not anticipate a big tax bill next year, toss them out.
