for 2017 I had enough tax withholding to cover taxes on my income.  However I had to pay taxes that I withheld for my household employee.  Would this be considered a 2017 tax liability?

Yes.  It's figured into your total 2017 liability.

Household employee taxes were on line 60a, 2017 Form 1040.  It got added into your other taxes.  Your total tax liability was on line 63, Form 1040.
