Long term gain - returning money to the IRS before the end of the year

Hello,

I had some stocks from a company which was sold and I gained around $40,000, which are a long term gain. I am being told that I have to return money to the IRS now, before the end of the year, because it is not good to owe the IRS too much at the end of the year and I may get a fine. Is this true and what form(s) should I fill to return the money? How much is the tax for this money?

Thanks,
Ivan.

You would prepare and file Form 1040-ES, and mail the payment with the voucher by 15 September 2008.
