NOTE:
If you filed a 940/941 and paid the tax, you do not file a schedule H at
all. See IRS Pub 926 page 11: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p926.pdf Business employment tax
returns. Don't use Schedule H if you choose to pay the employment taxes for
your household employee with business or farm employment taxes. Instead,
include the Social Security, Medicare, and withheld federal income taxes for
the employee on the Form 941 or Form 944 you file for your business or on the
Form 943 you file for your farm. Include the FUTA tax for the employee on your
Form 940.
