You didn't get your taxes paid by your employers. They withheld your taxes from your paycheck and paid them directly to IRS. These taxes came out of your pay. They weren't a perk from your employers.

They withheld nothing from my paycheck I was paid 20 per hr for 40 hrs a week. I was given 800 in cash every week. After I did my taxes I figured up what I owed and they paid it. When they gave me the W2 it had ss and Medicaid withholdings already on it. I never paid that, they did. What I owed to the Feds and state they paid. They gave me cash to cover it and I wrote a check to the IRS.

Do you understand the concept of gross and net income? The fact that you received your income in "net" form doesn't mean your income didn't exist in gross form originally.

You should also know that you broke the law if you didn't report what they gave you for taxes as income. Because that's income to you and you owe taxes on it.

You don't know exactly how her employers decided to pay the taxes.

She said she wrote a check to IRS and they gave her cash to cover it. That's income to her. Did she claim it/pay taxes on it?

Let me make sure I understand. Are you saying it's OK to evade taxes on some of your income? If not, what ARE you saying?

No. Considering the fact that most domestic worker employers pay zero taxes, maybe the IRS is pleased when people are paying taxes.

So you are saying that never mind she didn't pay all of her taxes, IRS should be pleased that she paid SOME taxes?

In DC most employers pay on the books.

Based on zero evidence.

What about the 13 yr olds who babysit ? All of them pay taxes on that money ? Most nannies I know pay taxes but extra babysitting money, not very often.

"In DC most employers pay on the books."

I think too that it seems like most in the immediate DC area pay FT nannies on the books. Those in the further out burbs that are less likely to be connected to law or the government in some way might be less likely to do so. Those employing someone only PT also might not as much.

We aren't arguing that people pay taxes on all their income, only that the law requires them to do so.

Where is the evidence to the contrary?

So whoever said "the fact that most domestic worker employers pay zero taxes" said so without evidence? Is that what you mean?

Analysts believe so, and is widely known. You may disagree.
