[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering whether there are any tax attorneys or CPAs who are looking into this.  Google says 'yes and no' and all the grey in between, but wondering if there's something definitive to rely on for VA residents.  Thank you![/quote]

I say independent contractor that way you don't need to cover their employment taxes, they pay their own self-employment taxes.[/quote]

Please do not ever again give advice on this subject to anyone.[/quote]

New poster here: she’s right though and you’re wrong.

In general:
A pod teacher will likely be your employee if you provide the guidelines for instruction and set the hours and days the instructor works. The teacher could be considered an independent contractor if they have set up their own business and have multiple learning pods AND you need to work around the teacher’s availability AND have little input into the curriculum and daily schedule of your children. The instructor would provide everything they need for the care and learning of your children.

I think nearly all learning pod teachers are employees. How many do you think are told to set their own hours?

To think that this is only determined by set hours is naive. Honestly, I can give any advice I want on an anonymous forum. Especially when I have first-hand experience with this.[/quote]
