Yes, it's possible. There are certain situations where you are REQUIRED to do quarterly estimated tax payments. So, did you? If not, figure out what's triggering them to say you have to. IRS.gov is your friend here.
If you don't think you fall into whatever category that is required to do estimates, then you can try to argue with the IRS. However, if you do meet that requirement, then you need to start doing quarterly payments or else you'll have more penalties.
Please note that if you do one massive estimated payment in January for the year, that probably won't meet their requirements.
