At the worst, they are a contract employee (make their own hours, determine where they work, etc) and you would 1099. For yourself, you need either their tax id number or social security number and you can claim them for the tax breaks. </p> <p>It doesn't sound like you are trying to do this under the table, but if they are and you put their social on your taxes, they will have to claim your income. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-home-daycare-taxes#post-812980 Tue, 28 May 2013 11:45:51 +0000 lavender 812980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daycare we send M to pays their own taxes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-home-daycare-taxes#post-812977 Tue, 28 May 2013 11:44:33 +0000 kiddosc 812977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think she is responsible for her own taxes. It may vary by state, but my Mom ran a daycare in our home and was responsible for her own taxes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-home-daycare-taxes#post-812911 Tue, 28 May 2013 11:25:46 +0000 blackbird 812911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the place we chose, they pay taxes out of what I pay them. They are self employed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-home-daycare-taxes#post-812903 Tue, 28 May 2013 11:23:25 +0000 yellowbird 812903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you use an in home daycare, how do taxes work? Is the provider basically self employed and pays taxes on their income that way? Since it isn't a nanny, I don't think I would be responsible for withholding taxes since she would not be my employee, right?? Is this something I'm suppose to ask when I take a tour or am I overanalyzing? </p> <p>Help! </p>
