TurboTax Home and Business does not prepare form 941. Form 941 is only filed if you are a business paying employees and withholding taxes from their paychecks. It must be filed at least quarterly and sometimes more often, depending on the size of your payroll.
I am a Sole Proprietor. I have one employee and was required to use form 941 to submit quarterly tax payments.
When I entered my information on TurboTax to get the correct tax software, it instructed me to use Home and Business software.
TurboTax Home and Business handles self-employed income and expenses, but not payroll tax returns.
See here for the features included in Home and Business.
If you are a sole proprietor and not a LLC S corp you file schedule C in your personal 1040 tax return. You enter your employee payroll expenses on schedule C. Don't know exactly what you need to enter about 941 estimates. You enter your actual expenses.
