Can I import W-3 payroll deductions into Turbo Tax Self=-Employed?

The W-3 from my payroll company includes numbers in Box 1: Wages, Box 2: Federal Income Tax Withheld, Box 3 Social Security wages, Box 4 Social Security Withheld, Box 5: Medicare Wages, Box 6: Medicare tax  withheld. Do I enter this information into Turbo Tax?

Unfortunately, no, your W-3 cannot be imported into TurboTax Self-Employed.  However, you do want to enter this information as it equates to large tax deductions.  And if you used Quick Employer Forms, see below, it has already been entered.  Under the ''General Info'' section, make sure you have indicated that you have employees.  You can find this section if you click the Edit button next to your business.  

The expenses from your W-3 are entered under 'self-employment expenses'.   Once in expenses, look for Employee Wages and Work Credits, and click Start.   This is where you enter the information from your W-3.  You can also click the link to QEF if you had not already processed your W-2s.
