Not sure if this is the right forum for this question: if I hire some to watch my kid for one week (it’s going to cost less than $2,700), can I just pay them in cash? |
Of course. No one wants to taxes for a 5 day job. You will have a hard time finding someone to agree to that. |

I don’t do taxes for my 1 day a week job. Most families don’t worry about it for PT care. Is it illegal? Probably. |
Cash wages of over $2700 to a person in one year is a trigger. Read https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc756 |
