As a follow-up to the prior response, the ERC does not get reported anywhere on your income tax return. Thus, your thoughts were correct in that the ERC does not get reported in the section where a taxpayer can enter work opportunity credits or general work credits.
The ERC is reported on Form 941, which TurboTax does not support. You will need to download such form from the IRS website. If you have already filed Form 941, then download an amended form, Form 941-X.
Corrections to amounts reported on Form 941, lines 11c, 13d, 21, and 22, for the employee retention credit are reported on Form 941-X, lines 18a, 26a, 30, and 31a, respectively. However, how you figure the employee retention credit for qualified wages paid after March 12, 2020, and before July 1, 2021, is different from how you figure the credit for qualified wages paid after June 30, 2021, and before January 1, 2022. Also, for corrections to qualified wages paid after June 30, 2021, you may need to complete new line 31b to tell the IRS if you're eligible for the employee retention credit solely because your business is a recovery startup business.
Now, there is the possibility that after you receive the credit (assuming you are eligible) you may need to report such credit on your tax return. In this regard, because you are applying for the credit much later than the time period it occurred and/or you may receive back more funds than your business had due for payroll taxes -- so the business could get cash back as opposed to just owing less in payroll taxes-- that is then reported as a reduction in payroll tax expenses on your business income tax return.
Here is a link to the IRS publication for Form 941-X which you might find helpful.
