[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Nanny for a family with parents who work odd hours and it works better for me to pick up the children and bring them to my house. I purchase & prepare their meals, pay for field trips we go on, buy a lot of toys & supplies and do projects (costly ones at that) for the parents for Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother & Father's Day & Christmas. There are 3 children so the expenses add up and feel that this should be taken into account when my AGI is calculated for taxes and Healthcare Credit. I was advised by 1 IRS agent (on the phone) that I should look into changing my status to "Statutory Employee" so that the expenses can be considered. Is this inaccurate?[/quote]
Exactly. I also used to do part of my nanny job in my house.

INA agency and payroll members are simply hell bent on, "No nanny can ever be an independent contractor." In fact lots of INA nanny members are independent contractors. They're mostly (but not all) the infant care nannies, who have a number of families through the year.

Of course the agencies and payroll outfits are missing major profits for themselves. :([/quote]
