Can you claim the Federal Income Tax Withheld that you paid for employees??

I pay my employees, they get a W-2 and I get a W-3. On the W-3, it has box 2 Federal Income tax withheld. Where do I enter that?

You just enter the gross wages amount you paid them. Their withholding is part of that. You don't enter it separately.

You do deduct the employer portion of the payroll taxes and the FUTA & SUI taxes paid on the wages.
