TurboTax has really created an issue for us on this--two years in a row. I've received wildly varied responses from TurboTax employees from don't report it to sideways fixes that don't really make sense.
Please fix this Turbotax. This is certainly a common situation (paying a nanny or other household help) and the system you have helped create to report it is upside down and backwards. Find a way to account for already withheld/paid taxes and a way to clearly and easily input that into Turbotax. Train folks on how to teach people to do this. Fix your software.
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
There is a screen to clearly input the taxes you paid to your nanny. This is a screen you will navigate to report this information. Unless there is another issue involved, I am not seeing your dilemma because this is very clear. Here is the screen where you report this.
Thanks Dave---but this yields incorrect results, to the point that I got an exceptionally larger refund from the IRS last year. Also, 3 separate Turbo Tax employees gave incorrect advice, including one who just suggested completely leaving it out. Another last year saying "Taxes are an art."
