So, far I've been able to find detailed information on unemployment tax, SSI & Medicare tax, as well as the state-specific income withholding requirements. But I can not find the federal income info - I found something that said the employer is not required, but may if requested, withhold federal income tax. Does this mean the employer doesn't owe any portion of income taxes on the nanny? I realize this is a dumb question and of course I will consult a more formal source before proceeding, but right now we're building a cost estimate, so if any of you know, that would be helpful. Thank you!
