I have a nanny who works in my home. I use SurePayroll to complete all of her and my tax documents. They have prepared her W2 and my Schedule H form. Which TurboTax product should I choose?

In order to file a tax return with a Schedule H, you will need TurboTax Deluxe or higher. All TurboTax personal versions (except TurboTax Free Edition and TurboTax Live Basic) handle Schedule H, Household Employment Taxes. Here's how to fill one out:

Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
Search for household employee taxes, sch h (use this exact term including the comma and space).
Select the Jump to link at the top of the search results.
Answer Yes to Did You Have a Nanny or Household Employee? and follow the instructions.

Hi, I have Turbotax Home and Business version, I tried to follow your recommendation for the sch H. It didn't work. Do you know if Turbotx Home and Business can let me fill out schedule H if I am e-filing?

Thanks,

Yes, it does; I just verified it works in Home and Business. Click on search at the top of the page and type sch h exactly like that, all lowercase letters and you should get the Jump to sch h link when you hit the enter key. When you click on search, you have to wait a few seconds before you type - it is very slow to respond. ;(
