State tax ID Number as Household Employer ?

[jiminrb]

I made estimated payroll taxes as a Household Employer in 2024. on Form H  I provided my Federal Tax ID number. I don't see anywhere to enter my State Tax ID number. Where do I provide this number?

You wouldn't need to enter your state tax ID number on your federal tax forms. Only your federal tax ID (in your case, your EIN) is needed on the Schedule H.

Thank you for your response.

Is there somewhere else to enter the state tax id number?

How does the state know I prepaid my state payroll taxes?

Thanks!

1. No. The federal asks for your state unemployment payments.  State tax paid is a state issue. State and federal taxes must be paid quarterly by all employers. Taxes are paid in the quarter the income is earned. 

2. Do you mean the payroll tax for your employee, under their name and number? That is part of their state tax return. The money you withheld from your employee for taxes isn't reported. The Sch H is to report your share of the taxes, Medicare and Social Security.

Thank you for all the info you provided.

I saw the info on form H that you highlighted and I understand Form H has only my federal EIN Number.

Since I made household employer state payroll tax payments quarterly in 2024 under my state tax id number (EIN), including my share of fees as the employer, is there anywhere on the state income tax forms I enter my state tax id number so those payments. I've looked and can't find it. If there is no place to enter the number, how does the state know I made the quarterly payroll taxes? I'm using TurboTax Premier with my SS number.

Thanks very much!

I don't know what state you're filing in.  Your state payroll tax withholding wouldn't be a part of your state return, so your payroll tax ID very well may not be required on your state tax return. It's not required in my state (Georgia), even though there is a place on page one to enter it.  Payroll tax is administered by the Department of Labor and Income Tax by the Department of Revenue - two separate state agencies.  If there's no place to enter it, I wouldn't worry about it.
