Tax Information

HomePay logoWe’ve taken the work and worry out of the household employment obligations by partnering with Breedlove & Associates, the nation’s most respected household employment payroll & tax specialist.

Their comprehensive, guaranteed service handles all your “nanny tax” obligations, including:

  • Register for federal and state tax accounts
  • Complete and file New Hire Report
  • Calculate the correct amount of taxes to withhold each pay period
  • Track gross pay, net pay, and taxes withheld
  • Prepare state tax returns and remit taxes quarterly
  • Prepare federal tax estimates four times per year and remit both the employer and employee taxes
  • Prepare year-end summaries to state tax agencies
  • Prepare Form W-2 and distribute to your employee (and any former employees who had wages during that calendar year)
  • Prepare Form W-3 and send to the Social Security Administration (along with Form W-2 Copy A)
  • Prepare Schedule H to accompany your personal federal income tax return
  • Respond to IRS and state notices/inquiries
  • Monitor ever-changing household employment tax law

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR EMPLOYERS OF TEMPORARY NANNIES:

If you pay any single individual less than $1,900 (2015) in a calendar year, you are exempt from the nanny tax obligations listed above. However, you are still legally considered a household employer and, therefore, must meet all applicable labor laws.

For more information about your obligations as a household employer and Breedlove’s No-Work, No-Worry service, visit their website.
