NANNY PAYROLL AND TAXESThis image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Starling-Coffee-2.gif

One of the most daunting aspects of hiring a nanny is managing nanny payroll and taxes. Starling Agency will help you set up nanny payroll and taxes with ease!


WHAT ARE NANNY TAXES?

Great question! The “nanny tax” is comprised of a combination of taxes you withhold from your nanny and the taxes you pay as the employer. Both parties benefit from proper tax reporting. For example, employers may be eligible for tax breaks to offset the cost of taxes. Additionally, your nanny will qualify for critical short and long-term benefits. Win-win! 


CAN I MANAGE PAYROLL MYSELF?

This is a case for experts! Household payroll has many unique and nuanced laws, specific regulations, exceptions, and exemptions that differ from corporate or private business payroll. Household payroll requires proficiency with federal and state agencies as well as expertise in household employment laws. Payroll calculations and related taxes aren’t necessarily difficult; however, the recordkeeping, filing, and payment responsibilities are significant.

Because of the evolving employment requirements and time commitment, many household employers contract professional payroll services to handle the process. Household employers are ultimately responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of payroll calculations and related taxes, so we urge you not to overlook the benefits of working with household payroll experts.
