Where do I deduct the expense of payroll taxes on my schedule C?

I've got my 940 and 941 but am not seeing where/how to deduct within Turbo Tax.

Go to the Other Common Business Expenses section under the Schedule C.  There is a separate category for Taxes and Licenses which includes employee payroll taxes.  Be sure that you have indicated that you have employees for the business or these categories of expense may not be visible to you.
