Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I think you mean that you are trying to get a tax deduction for the employment taxes. They are not deductible on your personal tax return. You can only deduct state income or sales taxes and property taxes on a federal tax return as itemized deductions. Payroll taxes are only deductible against business income, which you don't have.
