[quote=Anonymous]Good morning! We've just hired a new nanny for our infant. We live in DC and she lives in MD, and we're having difficulty navigating those two jurisdictions' sites as we try to register for payroll purposes.

I understand that we need three registrations in order to be a household employer:

1. Federal Employee Identification Number (already done through IRS -- very straightforward and easy, and we did this quickly).
2. identification number in DC (where we live), to register for our employee's unemployment insurance.
3. identification number in MD (where she lives), to register for our employee's income taxes.

I imagine many of you have already navigated this, but we're finding both the DC and MD sites difficult to figure out. For example, DC tells me I can't have zero DC-resident employees (even though ours is not a DC resident), and so it won't let me continue. And in MD, I can only seem to find the unemployment insurance application, even though as I understand it we don't need UI in that jurisdiction, only DC. I'm not sure where to go to register as an employer of a MD resident.

Can any kind soul help us solve this puzzle? It's the one thing standing in the way of us being able to finish our payroll setup and pay our wonderful new nanny. Thank you![/quote]
