If I already paid medicare and social security taxes for our household employee through quickbooks, how come I don't see anywhere to enter that here in TurboTax?

In TurboTax, it's increased our federal tax liability by an amount that's similar to what we paid in federal taxes already, so it looks like we'd pay double--am I understanding this correctly?

That is entered under "Other Tax Situations"

Scroll down to "Additional Tax Payments"

Scroll down to "Nanny and household employee tax"

Schedule H may not be ready for filing until March 17th.

So I went through the household and nanny tax section and entered all the information I could, but there wasn't anywhere I could enter in the medicare and social security taxes we've already paid. where can we do this?
