Live in DC, nanny share is in VA. Need help with taxes

[aschwaber]

We live in DC, but our nanny share is going to be in VA at the other family's house. Does anyone know how I should go about paying our share of the Nanny's VA state income tax and unemployment tax? Should I register as a household employer in VA using the other family's address? Thanks.

Here's how this nanny share thing gets really shady. The house where you're paying someone to provide care of your child, is supposed to be licensed.
Is the nanny a VA resident? Does she live-in or out?
Your payment to the nanny is separate and apart from the other family, so you can't "use" their address.

You pay taxes to the nanny's state of residence

And to the location she works from

In which state is the nanny's residence, OP?

Depends where you live, don't you know?

In Virginia, which is where the share is, it isn't true.

Up to how many unrelated children can you care for, not in the home of the children?

In VA?

http://www.dss.virginia.gov/facility/child_care/licensed/child_day_centers/

Child day centers are child day programs offered to (i) two or more children under the age of 13 years in a facility that is not the residence of the provider or of any of the children in care or (ii) 13 or more children at any location. A child day program is a regularly operating service arrangement for children where, during the absence of a parent or guardian, a person or organization has agreed to assume responsibility for the supervision, protection and well-being of a child under the age of 13 years for less than a 24-hour period.

You need to find your own state AND county laws as they apply to "family day care providers" and "family day care homes".

"Centers" obviously do not apply here.

Some places require you to be licensed if you provide PAID care for ANY child who does not live in the home where the care is being provided.

What did you decide, OP?
