Payroll W2 Reference Copy for Self Employed Business

I had employees for my LLC and used ADP for payroll. They sent me a W-2 Employee Reference Copy.  Where in TurboTax do I enter Box 2 Fed income tax withheld (withheld for my employees)?     I entered Box 1 Wages under Employee Wages.  Box 4 and 6 Soc. Security and Medicare tax withheld- I entered in Business Expenses- Taxes and Licenses.  That section does not list Federal income tax as an example so it seems that it goes somewhere else.

 

Thank you.

Federal income taxes are paid by your employees and are not a deductible business expense. Report only your portion of SSI and Medicare,
