For your payroll taxes, go to Business Expenses and choose Other Common Business Expenses. Then choose Taxes and Licenses (see the screenshot below).

For Sales Tax, if the sales tax is imposed on the buyer of your products, and you are required to collect the tax and remit it to your state, that amount shouldn't be part of your gross income, and in turn shouldn't be deducted anywhere on your Schedule C. See page 24 of this link: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p334.pdf

However, if the sales tax is imposed on you as the seller, you do report the sales tax in your income, (page 29 of that same link) and you can take a deduction for it either as part of your Cost of Goods Sold, or as a tax in the section Taxes and Licenses.
