[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure if you worked for all the families for 3-5 months each or several families in a 3-5 month period. If it's the latter, theysy not consider you a household employee. We didn't for our night nanny as she set her own hours and rate, defined her own duties, and worked for us for 10 days total. In that case, you can just file your taxes as an independent contractor. If, on the other hand, you feel like you fell under the more common situation where you were an employee, you can file as a w-2 employee with missing w-2 forms. This will save you employment tax. It will also stick your former employers with the entire bill for your employment taxes (about 15% of your salary) Our "night nanny" got just about all her work by word of mouth, so thats something to consider going forward.

Finally, please, in the future, if you are going to file taxes as a w-2 employee, sort out the problem after you see your first paycheck has no deductions. I'm always mystified by the number of these posts at tax time of nannies surprised by the lack of w2. [/quote]
