[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, the information regarding reporting to the IRS (like you would your housekeeper or nanny) stated above is incorrect.

To clear up any confusion, this is from the APIA website:

Q. Is Schedule H (Form 1040) required to be filed by the host family?

A. Since stipend amounts to the Au Pair are not considered wages for the purpose of Social Security Taxes, Medicare Taxes or Federal Unemployment Taxes, and since the Host Family is not required to withhold Federal Income Tax, Schedule H is not required to be filed.

According to the IRS website posted above, only in the rare situation that your au pair is a "resident alien" instead of the usual "nonresident alien" reporting may be necessary.

You are wrong and apparently cannot read the IRS info you are trying to cite: “au pair wages are includible in the gross income of the recipients, and au pairs are required to file U.S. individual income tax returns.” Perks are also includable as gross wages.” HFs ARE supposed to report same as income.
