[quote=Anonymous]Most of us work as an IC and handle the taxes ourselves. This is not technically 100% legal- it's on the fringe, but is the industry norm.

That said, I did this work for 5-6 mos for a family where one parent was high up working on a presidential campaign. Their accountant felt they needed to treat me as an employee out of an abundance of caution so that is how we did it. In most cases though we could make over $1800 in 2 weeks, so having potentially 26 employers or more for the year would be ridiculous. This along with it being a pretty different dynamic to nannying is why we treat ourselves as an IC in the majority of cases. You're right though to realize it's a gray zone, and if you've got a high security clearance/high profile job you will definitely want to consult with a tax professional- I'd suggest someone that actually works with household employment issues like Kathy Webb at 4nannytaxes.com. She's local so may have more perspective on issues that can be a bit unique to DC.
