[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I give my nanny $50/month for gas and "incidentals" (she has a car she can use, but prefers to use her own when she has only one kid -- her choice, so I don't feel obligated to also reimburse mileage; I would prefer she use our car/carseats in fact, but I have chosen not to make an issue of it). I added this as a perk when we cut her hours, because she still had the same amount of commuting.

Because it's not for anything in particular, I include it in taxable wages.[/quote]

If she's driving your child on activities or doing errands then your $50 isn't a "perk"[/quote]

It sounds like the poster you are quoting provides a vehicle for nanny to drive and then an additional $50/mth as a perk.  The fact that nanny chooses to use her own car instead of her employer's car does not make the $50 any less a "bonus".  Of course if nanny is using the $$ to buy stuff for or do activities with her charge, then I would agree it should be treated as no taxable reimbursement rather than a perk.[/quote]
