Most of our clients work for companies, businesses, and corporations. Therefore, hiring a nanny or housekeeper may be their first time and/or only experience with having an employee. This can be overwhelming and confusing when tax season rolls around.
Anyone working in your home based on a schedule you set and how you want your household to be run, is considered an employee. This is true for both part and full time employees. We definitely do not recommend attempting to misclassify your nanny, housekeeper, or otherwise- as an independent contractor, as this can lead to serious consequences.
Both you and your household employee will benefit from reporting your taxes correctly and honestly. As the employer, you can often receive tax breaks to help with the cost. Your employee will benefit from access to short and long-term benefits, as well as peace of mind when tax season rolls around.
While it will take additional time to include filing employer taxes, you can receive professional help and peace of mind from a payroll company. Nanny Poppins refers their clients to GTM Payroll Services, as they have a household staffing department and are up to date with state and federal domestic labor laws. Using a payroll service will provide both you and your household employee peace of mind.
