If I understand your question, you cannot add withholding/tax payments paid through Form 941, to your return.
If you used the employer Form 941 to pay federal tax for yourself on your freelance consulting income. This indicates to me that you were not an employee of a business entity (S-Corp, C Corp, etc) since you are filing a Schedule C.
- If this is correct, you should file a amended Form 941-X to receive a refund. (click the link to the form)
- Most likely, you will need to pay any balance due with your return when it is completed.
- A Form 941 is used strictly for employees and not a sole proprietor or single member limited liability company (SMLLC).
- It's unlikely the IRS will move this money to your personal return which is why you should amend the 941.
- Any estimated tax for federal withholding, as a Schedule C business, should be paid using Form 1040-ES for 2025
Please add any additional questions if you need more assistance.
