[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]W-9 is for independent contractors. So either they are confused (and should’ve given you a w-4 to fill out), or they are saying you are an independent contractor - not their employee. If you fill out the w-9, they’ll send you a 1099 in January 2024 and they’ll report your compensation to the irs as an independent contractor compensation and you’ll have to file with the irs as “self employed.”  This is usually disfavored because you’ll have to pay the self employment tax. If you were a w-2 employee, they’d have to pay some taxes (fica, Medicare I think?) on your behalf.

Since you’re part time I think there’s some wiggle room to argue you’re an independent contractor. If you were a full time nanny the law is pretty clear you’re supposed to be a w-2 employee.

This is my lay understanding as a nanny employer, I’m not an expert. :)[/quote]

There is no wiggle room for domestic emoyrrd.  She is paid on the books, tax and fica taken out by employers. And lsud OT for ALL hours over 40.  No way can you mistake a W-2 for a 1099.

OP, this is a huge red flag.  Get everything in writing and signed before agreeing to take this job.[/quote]

OP stared her contract says W-2.[/quote]
