I'm lost again. The question said where to enter employees wages paid. Your instruction led to entering wages paid to contract labor which is not an employee. Can someone tell me how to enter employee wages paid on W2 line 26?

When you are entering your line of work in the Self-Employment section you have to Edit General Info and then in the Payments and Identification section select that you have W-2 employees. You must also enter your EIN for the business since you have employees.

In the Expenses section under Common Expenses check the box for Employee wages and work credits

If Employee Expenses doesn't show up in the expense list you need to go back to the Business Profile section and click Edit by Has Employees and change it to YES.
