I agree that it is a household employee under the conditions described.

If it is a tutor with his or her own business, who is working for multiple families, setting own hours, etc. then 1099.

I am a teacher and just took a role like this.

We agreed on $45/hour.

As the provider, I plan to see an accountant before I start so I can have my taxes in order, as I feel it is on ME to take care of it

Isn't the threshold under 3k? I'd think everyone would hit the threshold if the hourly rates per kid quoted on this board were accurate.


OP here. It is $2200 for 2020.


You’ll reach that in no time. There’s also a quarterly threshold of $1,000 for fed unemployment tax.

But I assume you have multiple clients vs working in someone's house for 6 hours a day.

The IRS has rules on this. You want to go to the IRS website.

If they are a household employee and the monies are over a certain threshold then they would be a W2 employee.

If you have a question on it check with your CPA.

How do you figure? If it’s a caregiver, in OP’s house, using OP’s supplies?

Thank you. That is what I figured I just was not sure.

I have never had experience with hiring anyone to work in my house. It seems from my reading that the pod educator/caregiver would be a household employee since they are coming to my house, on a set schedule, using our supplies, etc. Am I missing something? Thanks for the help!
