[quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny who is paid legally as a household employee. I pay my share of taxes as do my employers. I refuse to allow families to 1099 me because the law is very clear about nannies NOT being independent contractors. As a nanny I insist on being paid legally for several reasons: 1. It's the law. 2. I want a record of my employment for purposes such as securing loans (like my recent auto loan). 3. It's less hassle to file for unemployment if I were to be let go. 4. I don't want to be responsible for the employer's share of taxes, which I would be if I were to allow a family to give me a 1099. 5. This is my job, and I am a professional. I want to be treated as such. 6. I've known individuals who have been audited by the IRS as many as 7 years after they stopped being paid in cash. Good luck ironing that one out. FWIW I even report cash I receive from occasional babysitting jobs.[/quote]
