I did it for my housecleaner. For DC, household employers can do it once a year as part of their DC taxes. I was already paying her DC unemployment this way and I just did the same once they added family leave. It's a little confusing because I signed up for emails about webinars and they were all focused on non-household employers who have to file quarterly. But with a nanny you should be able to do it once a year with your taxes.

I think you should ask on the nanny forum. They probably know better.

Is no one else paying the DC PFL tax for their nanny?

We are going to pay our nanny on the books so that she can have access to social security, Medicare, and federal and DC unemployment insurance benefits. Those I have to pay annually for household employees.

What I’m confused about is how often and the easiest way to pay the DC PFL paid family leave tax of 0.62%.

Can someone who’s done this provide some guidance?

TIA!
