The employer portion should be entered on the business return in the employee benefits section.

That assumes that the business is an S corp or a C corp.  Nowhere in the posts above is it mentioned that the business is an S corp.  If it's not an S corp or a C corp, the deduction for the employer contribution is to be included as part of the self-employed retirement deduction on Schedule 1.

 

As I mentioned above, examine the Keogh, SEP and Simple Contribution Worksheet to see the calculation of the self-employed retirement deduction.
