[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got a $1500 refund the year I filed  unemployment after bring paid off the books. I owed the state $190.[/quote]

How long had you been working under the table?
How much were you paid weekly?
Which state were you in?

And finally, how much did you owe the feds? You say you owed $190 in state taxes but obviously you had to pay federal taxes too...[/quote]
10:29 is just mad. She doesn't think employers should be held accountable. Too bad. Nannies should collect every dime they are owed.[/quote]

Excuse me? I AM a nanny but I would like the full story so as to better educate myself on this subject. I've always been paid legally so have no direct experience with it but someone giving half the details offers no benefit to anyone. I think you're
 just mad that you're too dumb to appreciate the importance of having all the facts before making an informed decision.[/quote]
Why does weekly income make any difference to you?[/quote]
Why no answer?[/quote]

Uh, apologies, I've been busy and hadn't been back to the forum.

Let me explain: OP wants to know if she should claim unemployment, thereby reporting her employers for failing to pay their share of her taxes. She doesn't indicate but we can assume she has not been paying her share of the taxes either, in which case she will certainly owe money to the govt before qualifying for unemployment, which is only a percentage of her current income anyway.

If all of the above is true it is safe to assume OP will save more money by NOT claiming unemployment.

However, if our assumption is wrong and she has been paying taxes on her income, PP has shared that when she reported her employers and the govt went after them for employer's tax that she received a refund of $1500. How much you earn determines how much you'd pay in taxes and therefore how much of a refund you're entitled to. If OP makes and pays taxes on an income of only $600/week while it was PP's $1500/wk paycheck that entitled her to such a large refund, OP would need to know that in order to estimate what her refund might be.[/quote]
