![]() On the other hand my nanny did a lot of overtime and I believe with a payroll service you have to give them the hours biweekly. If I had known there was a service that would do all this for me I would have done it. Federal and state taxes I settled up annually. My state required quarterly filings for unemployment. Maybe the post wasn’t clear, we only did the W2 annually as well but each year we were locked out of the account because of the password change. Sometimes I withheld way too much and sometimes way not enough. I sometimes had to make my own in excel from time to time. Since you can reconcile all federal taxes on your schedule H, it makes it a lot easier than being a real "business" in my opinion. I only ever made payments or did tax work every year, not every quarter. What we gained doing it ourselves: very little.ĭavidlukewilcox wrote: ↑ Fri 9:18 I only had to log onto that awful social security website every year, not every quarter. You have to keep track of the important dates and I won’t lie and tell you we always did things on time. Would have been avoided if I paid quarterly. We had a huge tax bill every April even with requesting my employer to withhold additional $500 each paycheck. But I did have to fill out some form when she rented a new apartment attesting to her salary in lieu of a paystub. In the 4 years we had her, it was not an issue. What you lose by doing it yourself: we had no paystubs to give her. In April we paid the withholdings to federal and state as part of our regular return. Also I believe you need special paper to print out the W2 or something bizarre like that. And of course I never remembered it a and would forget to call for several days. That took about an hour every year because the password resets every three months and you have to CALL between 9-5 to reset the password if you can’t remember it. I registered with social security as an employer and generated the W2 based on data from the accountant. Then in April, I told my accountant her take home pay and he calculated what her gross salary would have been with all the withholdings. That takes about 20-40 minutes each quarter. That times 2.7 percent is what we had to send quarterly. We had to file an online return of sorts stating what she had been paid for unemployment insurance. I googled unemployment insurance and found a link to create an account as a household employer. Registered with the state for unemployment insurance. She told us what she wanted her take home income to be and we gave her that instead of agreeing on a gross income. It sounds like Savvynanny is a good way to go. Thanks everyone for the responses so far. You pay both parts of social security tax and both parts of medicare tax and any federal income tax withheld with the Schedule H as part of your income taxes. You likely would also want to increase your W-4 withholding with your employer at some point in the year since the Schedule H likely means you'll owe money. In Utah, I didn't need to pay workmans comp insurance if I kept the household employee under 40 hours a week. This is when you actually pay your nanny taxes. ![]() I think you still need to file even if you didn't withhold by Jan 31.įile and pay unemployment insurance tax by Jan 31.įile a Schedule H with your income taxes. Set up an unemployment insurance account with Utah state.įile W-3 and get W-2's ready on by Jan 31.įile and pay State taxes for anything you've withheld. Set up an employer withholding account with Utah state.ģ. Set up an EIN with the federal government.Ģ. I don't see anywhere on his readme to do unemployment taxes though.įrom my memory, you need to (in Utah at least):ġ. ![]() ![]() ![]() For anyone who has done it manually, would you mind posting the steps, or posting a link to what's required? I'm trying to get an idea of what $40/mth gets you. ![]()
