Tax Year Prior to 2020: Where do I enter payroll taxes paid by the employer (my business)?

[KarenL2]

You can enter it as Taxes and Licenses in the business section.  While inside the software and working on your return, type Schedule C in the Search at the top of the screen (you may see a magnifying glass there).  There will be a popup that says Jump to Schedule C.  Select that to get to the general area. 

Then, 

• Business Income and Expenses
• select Edit next to your business (if it is there)
• scroll to Business Expenses
•  then, Other Common Business Expenses
• on that screen you will see categories and can choose Taxes and Licenses

Do I enter the Federal and State taxes as well as the Social Security and Medicare?

[KristinaK]

If you have a business and paid wages to employees, you can deduct the employer portion of the payroll taxes. These will include:

• Federal Unemployment
• Employer portion of Medicare and Social Security
• Employer state taxes, such as unemployment or, for example, Employment Training Tax.
