We employed a nanny this summer. For child and dependent care credit, do I enter the wages we paid the nanny? Including taxes paid, or not?

Also, there is a following section where it asks whether I have paid employment taxes.  I have, but I believe I already took care of that in the "Nanny or Household Employees" section, which essentially is the Schedule H information , which I have from the payroll company.  When I enter the taxes paid in information in the child/dependent care section, my amount due goes up?

Finally, since the payroll company already withdrew the taxes from my account and sent to the IRS, where do I account for the fact that was already paid?  It does not seem like the Sch H accounts for that...it just shows the liability.

I sincerely appreciate your help.

Thank you,

Andrew
