Okay, now you need to estimate your taxes, so the 2012 1040 ES Form is what you need to complete and submit a Federal Estimated Tax Form to the IRS!
While we can't think of a reason you might need a previous years' Form 1040 ES ( the IRS Estimated Tax Form ), stranger things have happened!
Really; like who would have ever predicted that the Presidential Race in 2000 would have been so close that it would take weeks to declare a winner!
Anyway, just in case, we also have a 1040es available for each year back to 2006.

Some people are required to make estimated tax payments to the IRS.
Estimating tax due is a method used to pay tax on income that is not taken out of your paycheck. For example, earnings from self-employment, interest, dividends, rents, alimony, etc.).
Also, you can make estimated tax payments for unemployment compensation and your Social Security benefits on a 1040es form because both are subject to taxation.
