Please stop lying. Lots of specialty nannies are self-employed. They go to the International Nanny Association conference every year.

Nannies are employees per the irs. W2 only.

Most of the time, but certainly not always.
Let's be honest.

Ina specifically states on their page that they don't care what the status is of their members. Sorry, obviously they don't care.

I'm always honest. IRS has their rules, you can disregard at your own peril.

Good. Where have they stated that a nanny can never be an independent contractor, specifically specialty nannies who meet the IRS requirements for an independent contractor?

Very few nannies meet the requirements to be an independent contractor. Most nannies are employees. And a family that wants a nanny to accept a 1099 wants a nanny who will help them break the law.

Probably nannies who fall under the category of "companion sitters." "Companion sitters are individuals who furnish personal attendance, companionship, or household care services to children or to individuals who are elderly or disabled....Companion sitters who aren't employees of a companion sitting placement service are generally treated as self-employed for all federal tax purposes." IRS Pub. 15A

Most nannies are employees, because the rule is that "an individual is an independent contractor if you, the person for whom the services are performed, have the right to control or direct only the result of the work and not the means and methods of accomplishing the result." Another way to put it is "anyone who performs services for you is generally your employee if you have the right to control what will be done and how it will be done. This is so even when you give the employee freedom of action. What matters is that you have the right to control the details of how the services are performed."

A parent who hires a nanny has the right to control what that nanny does and how s/he does it--what to feed a child, what activities the child engages in, what equipment the nanny should use, etc. So the nanny is an employee.

I'm a nanny who isn't controlled by the parental whims. I let them know how I function and they may hire me for my specific skill set and experience. However, most parents would probably want to maintain control, so I'm definitely not for everyone. But I file as an employee because it's easier for me right now.

That has almost nothing to do with it. It does not matter how much control the parents actually exercise, it matters that they have the right to exercise it. Very few parents allow a nanny to set her own hours, use all her own equipment, decide what food to feed their child, etc. The parents might allow you to make many decisions based on your experience, but you're still an employee.

True that "very few nannies meet the requirements to be an independent contractor". But you're FINALLY conceding that certain nannies are independent contractors. Thank you.

if a family is trying to give you a 1099 they are trying to avoid paying the employer share of the tax contribution (social security and medicare). instead of paying 7.65% of your income, you will be paying 15% of your income for social security and medicare alone (FICA). nannies are domestic employees and if you aren't provided with a W2 you should do your due diligence and report them to the IRS.

Just tell the family you want a W-2. Done.

WHY DO YOU KEEP GOING ON ABOUT THE INA???? They don't hire or pay any nanny. WTF would we need to report them to the IRS?

Most nannies are employees as defined by the IRS. There are not many "speciality nannies" that attend the INA conference who are independent contractors. The fact that you keep saying this shows me that you've never been to an INA conference because it's simply not true. It's rare for a regular nanny to not meet the definition set by the IRS. Even in the newborn care specialist world, many people have started to pay as employers in order to cover themselves.

You know there are multiple people responding to you, right?

Lawyer here. IRS has clear guidance on household employees. Anyone performing typical Manny duties as the OP is likely performing would be an employer, not an independent contractor. INA membership does not control employee classifications. I'm a member of the state bar association but I could certainly be an undiscovered tax cheat. It's not a professional association's job to determine appropriate employment status.

INA poster: go ahead and call the INA and ask them to confirm for you (give you legal and tax advice) that you should be classified as an independent contractor. They won't. You're wrong.

OP: require a W-2 and classification as an employee.

Oops - Manny should have been nanny, but same goes for Manny duties as well!
