[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3 years ago I did quit my job  and I do watch  the (feds) neighbors' kid while the  parents go to work.  I'm home with my own 2 kids, so why not?  8-5. Simple meals,  library, park, play in the yard,  nap, 2x walk/ wagon around the neighborhood, educational 60 minutes TV time while I make dinner. What's to complain about?   I am paid 200/day cash. No pressure, no commuting, no boss, no deadlines, no aholes for  coworkers.   Parent provides food,  snacks, pays daily in cash.  It's terrific.

DH (fed) and I do all chores; no outsourcing.DH happy to be in office full-time (has been for last 3 years; his preference; he is very social and hated working from home.). [/quote]

I hope you are reporting your income on your tax returns so you are earning payroll credits and also contributing to our nation’s finances. Really odd to me that a bunch of federal employees want to flaunt our payroll tax system for under the table childcare.[/quote]

Tax fraud can result in losing security clearances, hopefully they’re audited.[/quote]

Very few people get caught for this unless they are consistently writing checks. They can easily lie and say a family member watches their kids. This is assuming they are audited.

Childcare is a huge deal when you have young kids but otherwise you forget about it. Even someone auditing you may not consider it. [/quote]

You’re right, this is tax fraud and it’s rarely caught even though it’s illegal and contributes to the tax gap. From a policy view what bothers me is the systemic underreporting of primarily women’s income which results in them qualifying for less social security. I guess if you’re comfortable with this because you’re unlikely to be caught, similar to how most people think of shoplifting, you go for it.[/quote]

Who even gives a $hit. Our incoming president is a tax fraud in chief. Only thing tax fraud did was help him get elected. [/quote]

DP. I’m a fed (and DH is private sector with a security clearance). When we had a nanny we used a payroll service. I think it’s shady to work for the government and then commit tax fraud, but even more so, it’s not truly helpful to the nanny in the long term to not be paying into SS in case they become disabled or have a disabled child or even for retirement someday. Also you’re paying into unemployment and we got a workers comp policy as well in case she got hurt. Of all the things to skirt the rules/cheap out on, childcare is not one of them. [/quote]
