The Nanny – The Employee

As a Nanny, the IRS considers you an employee when you work on a regular basis for a family, at their home and expect to earn more than $1,700 per year.

What does being an employee actually mean? Being recognized as an employee is good for you in many ways. First and foremost is that by being paid “on the books” means you are protected under a number of laws in case you are ever unemployed, hurt or retire.

What are some benefits of being paid "on the books"? Getting paid “on the books” can help you establish income history and credit. Establishing your work history simply by being paid legally “on the books,” makes it easier to prove your legal earnings when applying for credit cards, student or home loans, and health insurance for example.

What if the family I work for doesn't want to pay “on the books”? We understand you may encounter this, and so does the agency you are working with. Ask the agency or contact us for help in explaining to your employer that it’s in their best interest to pay you properly for some of the following reasons:

• They may be able to take advantage of their flexible-spending plan and deduct your salary as a qualifying expense with their employer
• The IRS is cracking down on employers who do not report wages and taxes withheld for a professional caregiver (nanny) on their personal income tax returns
• It protects them, as employers, should you ever get hurt on the job
• Not paying legally cheats you out of credits to your social security account, impedes your ability to obtain credit and will not protect you if you become unemployed
• Because it’s not only the law, but it protects you and your employer
