I would like to seek help to know how to prepare for w2 or 1099 for nanny. I have no idea on even either w2 vs 1099. What documents should I get from the nanny before starting working with him/her? We are planning to hire someone (we found a nanny NOT through an agency or company), but should I contact a certain company or someone to consult? Do you know how to proceed with it in terms of tax? Please help.
Nannies are legally not classified as contractors. They need w2 if you’re paying over the table.
Good to know.
How did you find your nanny? Relative from home country?
I used Homepay (Care.com) and I highly recommend it. They'll handle everything.
I looked up some people on care.com too. But I am thinking about someone, not from care.com. Thank you for your suggestion tho!
Homepay is their payroll service. You can use it with anyone, wherever you find them. People use it for nannies, gardeners, personal assistants, etc.
