Now that I am responsible for filing my taxes I am so confused about what I am responsible for under the Nanny Tax. They do not withhold anything in my paychecks. I recently asked for my W-2 and it includes the amount withheld fo Federal Income Tax, Social Security Tax, and Medicare Tax; from what I have read I am getting the impression that my employer is responsible for paying a portion of this?
Okay, it sounds like your take home stayed the same, but they started saying they were withholding? Effectively, you just got a substantial raise. Do your taxes, it should be fine for you. If they didn't submit the withholding or the employer match, that will be on them.
