[quote=Anonymous]From the CCAP website: The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers au pairs to be “employees” of the host family for tax reasons, even though they are in the United States on a cultural exchange visa. Therefore, the weekly au pair stipend is subject to U.S. income taxes. Au pairs are responsible for declaring their own income, submitting a tax return and paying taxes if necessary. Withholding for Au Pair Taxes Because au pair wages are deemed by the IRS to be paid for domestic service in a private home, they are not subject to mandatory income tax withholding on Forms 941 and W-2 by the host family. Host families usually do not need to pay federal unemployment taxes for their au pair or to withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes. There are some rare cases where this rule might not apply – please refer to the IRS website for more details. [/quote]
