Household Employer, Form 941 vs Sched H SNAFU??

My wife and I file jointly. I hired a guy for the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2010 as a household employee to help doing general tasks, got my EIN (DBA my name), and withheld taxes as per "Paycheck Manager" service. He was paid a total of about $6500. I filed Form 941 quarterly and made the various payments to gov, fed and state, as per "reminders" of the Paycheck Manager service. I also filed Form 940, end of year.

Now, as I use Turbotax to do our taxes, I see it wants to file Schedule H, not acknowledge the taxes I've already paid, and have me repay the taxes. I guess I should have not filed the 941, and only filed the Schedule H.

After all the forms filled and sent, and taxes paid, should I just go forward as a Form 941 quarterly filer and forget about trying to "correct" the situation to a Schedule H? Or can that even be done?

And if staying the 941 course, is there another EOY form to file now besides the 940?

Publicati Business employment tax returns. Do not use Schedule H if you choose to pay the employment taxes for your household employee with business or farm employment taxes. (See Payment option for business employers, earlier.) 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.

Next year, you don't have to file forms 941 and 944. You can just file Schedule H. Use EFTPS against your personal individual account to make quarterly payments that include your portion of FICA, FUTA, etc (as well as tax for gains on the other things like self employment income, SE tax, etc).
