DC (State) Tax Obligations for Nanny

[Anonymous]

We're hiring a nanny and want to do everything by the books. I found IRS publication 926 "Household Employer's Tax Guide" very helpful in explaining the federal obligations. Does anyone know of a similar publication for the DC (state) side of taxes? Specifically, I'm trying to figure out at the state level how unemployment and workers' comp works. Thanks!

You are welcome to download DC specific information here:

All official information is housed in the DC Department of Employer Services ... but you will need to hunt and peck as SUTA and workers' comp are two different divisions.
