Having a Schedule H will also trigger the ''Line 11 too large'' error.   As an employer of a household employee, you are eligible (if you have tax due instead of a refund) to defer the SE tax you owe.   To get this error to go away, delete the 0 that is there and leave the field blank (assuming you do not wish to defer payment).    @Anonymous    @nebirah  

 

If you do defer the tax, the deferred deposits of the employer's share of Social Security tax must be deposited by the following dates (referred to as the "applicable dates") to be treated as timely (and avoid a failure to deposit penalty):

  • On December 31, 2021, 50 percent of the eligible deferred amount; and
  • On December 31, 2022, the remaining amount.

However, if an employer pays any amount before the applicable dates, any such payment is first applied to reduce the employer's liability for an amount due on December 31, 2021, and then to the amount due on December 31, 2022.
