pretty easy. $200 * number of weeks she has worked.
you are overcomplicating things. I've been in the program 7 years and don't know anyone who has ever issued a W-2 or 1099 or any paperwork.
No need for a W2.
Number of weeks x the amount you paid ($195.75 or $200 or $250....etc) is put in the income box. That is it.
Also the educational credit.
Um no.
More bad info.

The tax law changed. To screw over foreign workers.

The minimum is more like 3k or 4K to have to file.

No, this is wrong. Do not provide a W-2. AP is a non-resident. By filing a W-2, IRS may mistakenly think she is subject to employment taxes (FICA, Medicare), which she is not. This would increase your risk of audit by IRS.

An Au Pair is not an "employee" who receives a W-2.
She is here on a J-1 Visa and receives a stipend.
There are no tax documents that the host family needs to provide her.
H&R Block is wrong

We didnt realize we would have to give our Au Pair a W2.
Our HR Block person just told us to google it.
So maybe DCUM can help- how do you give the Au Pair a W2? Is there a online form you can fill out and print?
How to we get a tax ID number of ourselves?
Any help appreciated.
