[quote=Anonymous]And more in room and board: so no you cannot deduct to where someone is left with $200/mo (exact scenario for Nanny not Au Pair that PP posted):
According to the IRS, families who employ a live-in nanny can exclude the cost of room and board from their nanny’s pay as long as the meals and housing are provided in the family’s home, for the family’s convenience. If you choose to deduct this amount from your nanny’s wages, you still must pay them an hourly rate at or above the prevailing minimum wage.
(You are allowed to deduct only The employer must not charge more than $1.50 for breakfast and $2.25 for lunch or dinner, and the deduction must not be for more than the actual cost; and $35 a week for a room with 1 person — look up DoL; so no way you are ever at $200/Mo).

In some states, like Massachusetts, you aren’t allowed to deduct the cost of housing from your nanny’s pay if the job requires them to live in your house. You may also be deemed a landlord if you take room and board out of your employee’s wages because now your nanny is considered to be paying rent.[/quote]
