Can I mark my household employment taxes as already paid? I already sent the IRS my household employment taxes because I didn't realize TurboTax could do it- what now?

[mantidsmoney]

I've already mailed the IRS a check for my household employment tax. Now that I'm filing my personal return on TurboTax, I can't figure out a way to enter that a payment has already been made. Any advice?

In order to indicate the taxes you have paid already during the year for your household employee (or others), you need to:

1. Go to "Deductions + Credits" (on the top bar)

2. Select "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid"

3. Select "Estimates"

4. Under "Estimated Tax Payments", select the first option "Federal estimated taxes for 2022 (Form 1040ES)"

And there you can enter the payments you have made during the year (each quarter).
