Payroll taxes - What documents do I find the payroll taxes to enter under "taxes paid". From the W3, 940, 941?? If so, what box(es) have the correct numbers to enter?

To find the correct numbers from your Payroll Returns, please use these figures: 

  • Form 940, Employer's Annual Federal Unemployment (FUTA) Tax Return: Line 12 (Total FUTA tax after adjustments)
  • Form 941: Add boxes 5a and 5c, then divide by 2 to calculate employer's match for Social security and Medicare taxes. 
  • Form W3: You do not include anything from this form as it is mostly a summary of your Form 941s.  
  • Your State most likely has an Unemployment Tax as well which requires you to file a return, so include that figure as well.
