1099 as Nanny

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.

INA doesn't give you tax or legal advice. They do have a number of IC nanny members. It's perfectly legal for them and nothing secretive about it. Why are you so mad about it?

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.

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?

Crickets.

Once you’re 1099 you can start deducting your car, gas, insurance, healthcare, food expenses as well. All biz related.

The job description of nanny and employee classification of IC are pretty much mutually exclusive. Remind me, where did you study tax law? Oh...you didn't, and you're wrong?

Of course you're not an IC and you're committing tax fraud, PLUS losing out on employee protection benefits. It is genuinely a sign of stupidity to strive for 1099 status.

Can't fix stupid, stupid. If you strive to forever be someone's employee, you are welcome to do so.
