[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like everyone I know in the greater DC area hires documented nannies, for very obvious reasons (namely that its the law, we have many federal workers, etc.). Personally, I have no problem hiring an undocumented worker and realize that I'd be breaking the law by doing so. No need to tell me how I'm terrible I am for cheating the government. Frankly, I'd be helping an individual and their family who otherwise might not have work. I'm okay with that. For those of you who do/have employed an undocumented nanny can you share your experience? Did you pay any/all employment taxes? Did you pay a little less per hour? Any thoughts/feedback after having done so if you'd do it again? I've done a little reading on all this here but don't know how accurate it all is. [http://www.homeworksolutions.com/knowledge-center/my-nanny-is-not-a-legal-resident-what-should-i-do-about-employment-taxes/] Thanks! [/quote] Straight from the horses mouth... https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/pay-for-personal-services-performed Illegal Aliens (Undocumented Aliens) Foreign workers who are illegal aliens (undocumented aliens) are subject to U.S. taxes in spite of their illegal status. U.S. employers or payers who hire illegal aliens (undocumented aliens) may be subject to various fines, penalties, and sanctions imposed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. If such employers or payers choose to hire illegal aliens (undocumented aliens), the payments made to those aliens are subject to the same tax withholding and reporting obligations that apply to other classes of aliens. So it turns out http://www.homeworksolutions.com/knowledge-center/my-nanny-is-not-a-legal-resident-what-should-i-do-about-employment-taxes/ is accurate. Google is your friend. [/quote] FYI if you are trying to help an illegal out by giving them income and a job you are threatening their life in the US by trying to pay taxes. That is how the gov't catches these people. Also the minimal amount of money they earn has no need to be reduced further.[/quote]
