I have a single member LLC client reporting on a Schedule C.  Started a 401(k) plan for 20 employees.  How do I enter admin costs for the Form 8881 and where do I enter the cost reduction on the Schedule C?

Thank you.

The IRS has instructions:

That includes the update for the SECURE Act, too.

Thank you but I was looking for specific information on how to enter the information into Lacerte for a Schedule C.  I entered the eligible costs in screen #34 Other General Business Credits but I don't see a specific field to enter the cost reduction in the Schedule C input.  Do I just subtract the credit amount from the Administrative and education costs field?

Thanks.
