Do I have this all correct:
Nanny will work for us 15 hours per week, for 15 weeks. This will be her only work in DC; she will move out of state in June. Each week her gross wages will be $200. I'll withhold $15.10 and set aside another $15.10 for SS & Medicare and $6.73 for Unemployment. (So every paycheck, I set aside $37.93) I will not withhold her federal taxes. I got an EIN. I'll have her fill out form I-9 (then what do I do with that? just keep it or send it somewhere?) I'll get workers comp insurance. I'll have her fill out W-10 Dependent Care ID (and I just keep that for my taxes). I won't do W-2 because I'm not withholding federal taxes. (right) Also, I'm not sure what to do about DC taxes. She'll make about $2,500 so shouldn't have any DC tax liability, but I think I need to do DC unemployment insurance, but can't figure out where/how. Anything else? Any info on the DC stuff. Thanks. |

| You have to do a W2 no matter whether you withhold taxes or not. |

OP you will need to give the employee a W-2 form because you project to pay wages in excess of $1900 in the year (15 * 200 = $3000)
And you must register for and obtain an unemployment account in DC and file and pay that tax. Do call us if you have a question. We obviously sell services, but we don't mind chatting briefly if you are DIY. |

Thanks everyone. I mis-typed and do know I need to do a W-2 for her, but think I don't need a W-4 if not withholding.
Thank you Kathy for the info on DC unemployment accounts! |
