HOUSEHOLD EMPLOYER TAX REQUIREMENTS
If you’re paying over $2,700 in a year, which is only $52/week, did you know it’s the law to pay above board? Many people think nannies, caregivers and housekeepers are independent contractors. They are actually your employees, even if they only work part-time or for multiple families. The IRS is really clear that you are required to withhold and pay employer taxes.

That sounds complicated and hard to do, and that’s where we come in. We believe you deserve an easy way to pay legally so you’re always above board.

We created Nest Payroll, a native iOS app for your iPhone or iPad, which takes care of all your tax work, while making payday a cinch.

Why does paying on the books even matter?

It benefits everyone: Your employee receives the safety net of unemployment insurance, Social Security, Medicare, the ability to build credit, and verifiable income for basic needs like renting an apartment. You’ll sleep better knowing you’re protected from fines, penalties, wage theft lawsuits and risk to your professional career that can be triggered when a former employee files for unemployment.

You might think it’s expensive to pay employer taxes, but it really isn’t too bad! It’s about 10% more, which is well worth the peace of mind you’ll get for following the law.

And paying above board means you can take advantage of tax credits for dependent care. Many families even break even.
