Anyone have a nanny? Q from a visitor
Hi Ladies, I hope you don't mind me asking you all a question . . . I am a regular on thebump but the GR bump board is quite inactive. : )
I am trying to figure out all the taxes associated with having a nanny. My understanding is:
Social security/medicare: we pay 7.65%; nanny pays 5.65%
Federal unemployment tax: we pay 0.6%; nanny pays 0
I have read that 'most' employers are required to pay a 2.7% State unemployment tax, but cannot find if this applies to the employer of a nanny or not.
Does anyone know if I am missing anything, and whether the state unemployment tax applies to nannies?
Thank you!
