[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our housekeeper is self-employed. She cleans at least a dozen other houses. There are online questionaires you can fill out to find out if you have to pay taxes.

If you are the sole employer, then you may be on the hook.[/quote]

Our cleaning lady (housekeeper does not seem to fit in our case) comes every other week and I assume she counts as self-employed.  She works for at least 10-15 families and usually has one other woman working with her. In terms of what we pay her, we are over the annual maximum as far as taxes would be concerned. She used to have me make the checks out to her "company name" but now asks that they be made out to her, personally. So, I am not sure if we have a tax issue or not. Ironically , I have asked several accountants about this, including our own, they all laugh and say not to worry about it unless DH or I have plans to run for public office! Just asked again last week as we are preparing tax information for our accountant.[/quote]
