[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Exactly. We don't pay taxes on our cleaner for this reason - she is not my employee.[/quote]

The IRS guidance on the issue says *specifically* that it *DOESN"T* matter if she is employed by more than one person.

I'm sure the IRS will give two hoots when you show them your online questionnaire.

If a person works two jobs, does that mean that neither employer has to pay payroll taxes?

It all depends on whether or not the person is employed by a company (and that company pays the payroll taxes) or whether the person is set up as a company, as opposed to just an individual cleaning houses.  And then beyond that, if you end up paying over the threshold.

It comes under the IRS guidance for DOMESTIC HELP.[/quote]
Here we go again. I thought we all understood that, you DO NOT have to be "set up as a company" to be an IC.
