[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on how much she makes and what state you are in. If it doesn't hit the limit of monthly income then she doesn't have to file. Yes this is true and look it up. I have. [/quote]

Last I knew, you had to disclose income to the IRS if the nanny made more than $1800 (maybe $1900?) during a quarter.  There are very few nannies who don't make that much.

Ex:
10 hours per week at $15/hour: 10*15= $150
$150 per week for 52 weeks per year: $150*52=$7,800
divide into quarters: $7,800/4= $1,950[/quote]

It's $1900 per year, not quarter.

That being said technically the nanny is responsible and on the hook for taxes all money earned, no matter if it didn't meet the threshold for the family to file or not.  A lot of nannies think they don't need to include this income.  [/quote]

I know that nannies have to report either way, but I thought that families only had to report if they hit $1.900 per quarter.  Thanks for the correction :)[/quote]
