[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does you being a federal employee have to do with childcare? [/quote]

She has a low level security clearance which requires that she pay household employees above board - she must file taxes as an employer. No cash employee's for us.[/quote]

What does all this has to do with Clearence except foreign nationals living in your house to hiring legal people. Paying cash or by check doesn't make any difference for Clearence as long as the person receiving money is legal in this country. [/quote]

If you are ignorant about the topic, maybe do a bit of internet research before making a dumb comment.

I work in HR for the federal government and I've seen people lose their clearances and jobs for this.  Not worth the risk.[/quote]

my god.  seriously?  In your experience, what is the limit that one can pay an individual service provider per year before triggering these sorts of requirements? It cannot possibly be that hiring a babysitter once for two hours at 20 bucks per hour triggers these requirements, is it?  Have you really seen someone losing their clearance / job for paying a part time housekeeper/babysitter/dog walker in cash rather than through W-2 with payroll/SS taxes?[/quote]

Those things are different then hiring a Nanny that works only for you.[/quote]

ah  okay so the difference is whether you are their sole client?  The reverse sounds too ridiculous.  If I pay the neighbor's kids $20 to come water the plants and feed the dog for two days I I can't understand how that could be a security risk if I don't collect their SS number and take taxes out of their pay/pay employer SS taxes.

NP and you keep making yourself sound dumber. It's not about "in someone's experience," it's about what the law is. There are specific laws around domestic employees that are very easy to look up, moron. Since you seem incapable of doing this, however, here are some links to get you started: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc756 and https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-publication-926.[/quote]
