If you pay more than $1,900 in 2015 to your household employee, you need to withhold Social Security and Medicare.

I'm not sure how relatively complicated the taxes in CO were though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-taxes-2#post-2214750 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 21:48:25 +0000 meganmp 2214750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it myself- the tax calculator from 4nannytaxes.com, read enough to figure out the unemployment taxes, and use TurboTax to do the end of year taxes. It was insanely overwhelming at first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-taxes-2#post-2214744 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 21:29:42 +0000 macintosh 2214744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jape14: I'll check that out. Intuit isn't available in IL either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-taxes-2#post-2214736 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 21:06:36 +0000 jape14 2214736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a FT nanny (in a nanny share) and we use Savvy Nanny for taxes. I've heard the intuit online software is good but we can't use it in our state. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-taxes-2#post-2214717 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 20:35:56 +0000 macintosh 2214717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just hired a nanny for one day a week and looking at the nanny tax rules has me overwhelmed. The state of IL seems to have some special rules, too.</p> <p>I looked at a couple of web based nanny tax services and they are soooo expensive! I don't have time to figure out all the rules on how to do it myself. I was thinking about trying to find a CPA to help, but not sure if that's any cheaper.</p> <p>What have you done for nanny taxes? Anyone use a service they like? Anyone do it themselves? </p>
