Re: the IC versus employee debate, the fact of the matter is that if the IRS comes to you demanding taxes because you are an IC, you are either going to give them the taxes or give a lawyer money to fight for you.

Lose/lose.

First off, I said I was a new poster. If you want to call yourself an IC I really don't care; you're the one who is suffering because of it. You asked for proof in the tax document where it said certain information. I pointed out said information. Also, the word is "ridiculous."

No where in your text does it say that a nanny is never, or can't be an IC. In fact, IRS determines IC vs employee status on the nature of the work. This includes a long list of questions to answer. This includes, but not limited to, WHO controls HOW the work is done.
Thank you for your typo correction.

I doubt a nanny or house cleaner with any intellegence would take the IC status until she first consults with IRS.

Apparently it's not filled. They need more takers.

It's like an old-time SAT word logic problem. All nannies work with children under 18. All Newborn Care Specialists work with children under 12 weeks old. So are all nannies Newborn Care Specialists?

Don't be absurd. Of course a NCS is not just like a nanny. That doesn't change the fact that most of them still consider themselves to be nannies, in the general sense of the term.

As most of us know, many of them are well-established legal independant contractors.

NCS professionals usually still consider themselves to be nannies, but specialized.

It depends on the job they do, not on the certification. 99% of the time, what we call a nanny job on this board would not be an indendant contractor position. But there are positions where a newborn nanny might come in for a short period of time, set her own hours and rates, and totally manage care of the newborn. (Like respite care, or a sleep trainer) In those cases, they might qualify as an IC

Also, IC's should have a good number of clients throughout the year. That's one of the many factors in the IRS guidelines when determining IC vs. employee status.
