Here's the fundamental issue that you need to consider. If you pay your household employee more than $2,000 in 2017, you will more than likely need to file several federal tax forms and if you pay your household employee more than $500 in any one calendar quarter, you might need to file quarterly tax forms with your state.

Here's what we do. NannyTax LLC (was the first, we strongly believe) firm in the country to specialize exclusively in working with household employers. If you have ever heard of those big, big, big companies like ADP or Paychex, you understand what we do but we work ONLY with and specialize in "hand-holding" household employers.

Once you sign up with us, we will get you "on-line" with the Internal Revenue Service, register you with you home state, get you all the forms to make you "Zoe Baird" proof (just in case you want to be the next Attorney General of the United States), do your tax calculations, give you some friendly insurance advice, and answer all of your questions.

At that point we can either leave you alone until the end of each calendar quarter or help you actually pay the nanny (or other household employees) each week. At the end of the calendar quarter, we contact each and every one of our clients to verify what the nanny was paid. Most clients respond to our emails and faxes, but if we don't hear from you, we'll give you a phone call. Once we verify the data, one to two weeks later you will receive a signature-ready package of tax forms with pre-addressed envelopes and instructions attached to each form and a complete set of copies for your files.Our year end service includes preparing the W-2 forms and a Schedule H to hand to your accountant (you won't be billed twice for the same work if you chose us!).

Our service is complete "soup-to-nuts".

Our fee structure includes a one-time set-up charge of $95. We typically bill our clients $165 per quarter. For clients with one or two employees working in one state, our fee structure is fixed.

There are no hidden charges when you hire NannyTax LLC.
