Do I Have To Pay Nanny Taxes?

Do I have to pay taxes on my household employee?

YES! Once you hire a nanny, housekeeper, or household manager, they become your employee. The IRS has recently enforced efforts to collect employment taxes. Paying your household employee "off the books" is considered a tax evasion by the IRS. Call the IRS directly for more information or call a CPA (tax accountant) for more information about employment taxes. If you sign up with Georgia's Dream Nannies, then we will provide you with informational tax brochures to use as a guide.
