How do I report Household Employee taxes already paid?
    Best answer by AmyC

    You will need to enter taxes already paid to the federal and state, whether for the Social Security and Medicare tax shown on Sch H for the wages or other payments.  Usually only FUTA is paid during the year for a household employee. All taxes are then paid using the sch H for the employee and employer. Since you paid additional tax, follow these steps:

    1. Open your return to the federal Deductions and Credits section
    2. Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
    3. Select Estimates
    4. Select federal estimated taxes for 2024 (Form 1040ES)
    5. Did you pay....select yes
    6. Enter the amount paid for each quarter
    7. Continue
    8. If you paid state estimates, you can enter them now.
