Our AP was only with us for a few weeks in 2019 ...but she still has to submit a tax form right? |
Yes. 10% of what they earned. Even 1 week = owing ~$20. |
What if they've gone home already? |
Then you don’t worry about it. |
Is it still the law? |
Anyone? Does an AP who spend part of last year still owe taxes even if they've gone home? |
She will be reminded of her tax liability if she ever tried to enter the US again. |
They do. YOU don’t need to worry about it, though. |
They have to pay taxes on their stipend, educational stipend, a portion of their cell phone, a portion of their car insurance, a portion of their gas, meals out, vacations, etc. |
No AP is paying taxing on a portion of their meals out, vacations, car insurance or any of that stuff. Give me a break. |
Yes, they do. |
They don’t report it as income, nor do HF. Therefore they don’t pay taxes on it. |
Um, yes. They do. |
Yes, AP still owes the tax even if they left the country. But you are not responsible for collecting it, or making sure it's paid. |
Since what year do the Au Pairs have to pay these taxes?
I was an AP 20 years ago and never heard about any taxes back then, and then went back to the US numerous times and never had a problem. |
