How do I enter my 941 estimated payments in Turbo Tax Home and Business 2023?

I do not see anywhere on the Business taxes. In Personal taxes it states estimates using 1040 ES.

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. 

 

What is IRS Form 941

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. 

 

Go to Business tab- then Continue
Choose Jump to Full List -or I'll choose what I work on

Then…..
Business Income and Expenses - Click the Start or Update button

 

If you haven't added a business yet you have to go though a lot of screens describing your business. Or if you already added your business, you should see the Business Summary page that lists your businesses, (right below the list you can Add Another Business)

Then click EDIT by the business name and the next screen should be a list of topics,
Business Profile, Income, Inventory/Cost of Goods Sold, Expenses, Assets, and Final Details last.

Under Business Expenses, Click Start or Update by Other common business expenses

Employee Expenses for Wages and Benefits is the 6th item under Expenses - Click the Start or Update button

 

If Employee Expenses doesn't show up in the list you need to go back to the Business Profile section and click Edit by Has Employees and change it to yes.

 

The employer part of payroll taxes goes on schedule C line 23 Taxes and Licenses

 Oh By the way,  Did you give your employee a W2 and file it with W3?  It was due to them and the IRS by Jan 31.  I can tell you how to file W2/W3.  Are you using Windows or Mac Home & Business?
