I am looking into hiring people to come into the house and do care tasks for my parents.
Does anyone know:
-What is the limit on what I can pay people without having to deal with paying taxes on them? Per quarter? Per year?
-I don't really mind PAYING the taxes...but I don't know how to do it legally. 1099? How does that work?
Thanks in advance
Hire a payroll service to cut the checks or electronic payments and figure the taxes each week. Payroll services are really inexpensive and allow you to pay workers legally.
We had caregivers at Mom's house for over 10 years. We paid legal. We used a payroll service each week. They figured the taxes and cut the checks and made the electronic payments.
