Tax Year Prior to 2020: 2019 CA Form 540-ES Payments

Upon completion of my 2018 CA State Taxes, Turbo Tax provided a Payment Form 540-ES 2 and a Payment Form 4 540-ES 4.  In filing my 2019 CA State Taxes, Turbo Tax provided Payment Forms 1, 2 and 4 for use in 2020 and indicated I owed $1,939.00.  Did Turbo Tax not supply the proper number of Payment Forms for use in 2019 and that the owed amount is based on a missing quarterly payment?

    That's right,  

    California does not want a 3rd quarter estimate payment.  They want  30%  40%  0%  30%

    I need CA 540-ES vouchers but i cannot find them on Turbo Tax.

    If you don't owe CA taxes, the 540-ES will simply not be generated. The form appears if you CA taxes and you are required to make estimated payments.
