If you are e-filing your return, you will need to fill out Schedule H in TurboTax so that it is transmitted with your return. If you are going to mail in your return, just include the paper copy of Schedule H prepared by the payroll company.
Schedule H will calculate the Household Employment Taxes you owe, but you also need to enter the tax payments you paid under "estimated taxes."

Thank you so much for the answer. I had a couple of other questions. 1. Do I include the amount for medicare and SS as an employer in the federal tax area or do I just enter the Federal amount? I imagine that I include the state portion in the state estimated taxes correct?
If you mean the entry under estimated tax payments, include the total--the withholding, medicare and SS. [You have to enter the total amount because the total amount will be included in your tax bill.]
You're right -- enter the state portion in the state estimated taxes section and you should be good to go!
