Nanny Tax Schedule H in TurboTax

We hired a nanny for all of 2021 and we managed her payroll via a payroll company SurePayroll who withheld her taxes for us and paid them to each government agency on our behalf all year each quarter. We were given a Schedule H form which details all the taxes withheld and paid. When filing in TurboTax the household employee section is not asking me questions outside of how much unemployment and federal taxes we withheld. It doesn’t ask about the Medicare, Federal, social security taxes we withheld and have already paid and instead is added those numbers to the total taxes due, but we paid these taxes and I’m confused as to where in Turbax I can enter that these taxes were indeed withheld and paid and are not due.

In TurboTax, you must enter the payments as Estimated payments and they will get applied correctly to submit to the IRS.

If you made estimated tax payments in 2021 towards your federal, state, or local taxes, enter them in the Estimated and Other Income Taxes Paid section.

With your return open, search for the term estimated tax payments

Choose Start next to the type of estimated tax payment you'd like to enter
Enter the amount of estimated tax you paid at each of the quarterly due dates

Thank you. So add both Estimated Taxes under "Estimates" and also enter Schedule H details under "Nanny and Household Employee Tax" of Other Tax situations? Correct?

I suppose this will add 'zero' to the Tax owed?

Hello,

I saw your post on the Nanny Payroll using SurePayroll. Did you end up sending the Schedule H from Surepayroll or did you let Turbotax create one and you added the estimates. I'm glad you asked the question because it was started to drive me nuts. I used HR Block last year, and they they didn't include the estimtes so ended getting back a big check from IRS.

I have a schedule H from Homepay BUT TurboTax didn't allow me to upload it, it just asks for a few numbers which didn't seem right - so the based on the advice above, I went and added estimated payments too. Is that correct? So confusing.
