Where do I put employee wages that I paid out on schedule c line 26.

First you have to indicate in your Business Profile that you have employees.  Then you will see Employee Expenses in the Business Expense category.

To do this in TurboTax, please follow these steps:
  1. Click on the Business tab > Continue > I'll choose what to work on
  2. On the Let’s gather your business info screen, in the Business Income and Expenses section, click the Start/Update button.  [See Screenshot #1, attached.]
  3. If you have already started adding information about your business, you will see the Here's the business info we have so far screen.  Click on the Edit box next to the business.  [Screenshot #2]
  4. If you haven't already started adding business information, continue through the screens to enter the needed information.
  5. You will now be on the Your [XX] Business screen.  In the Business Profile section, click on the Start/Update box.  [Screenshot #3]
  6. On the Let's confirm your business info screen click Edit next to Has Employees.  Click the blue Yes box then click Continue.
  7. You will now be back on the Your [XX] Business screen.
  8. In the Business Expenses section, click on the Start/Update box next to the Other Common Business Expenses.  [Screenshot #3] 
  9. On the screen, Let's write off some business expenses, click on the Start/Update box next to Employee Expenses.  [Screenshot #4]
  10. Continue through the screens, entering the requested information.

    Here's a screen shot of the Profile section to first say YES  has employees.  Then line  26 for Employee Expenses will show up in the Expense listing.
