This isn’t accurate. The Agency doesn’t take care of your OWN taxes. Agency is the hook between you(employee) and the employer.


When you work through an agency then the agency is your employer. The agency bills the client (parent) and the agency pays the employee (,nanny). The agency takes out Federal. FICA, and state taxes and sends employee, w-2 beginning of new year.


That is not a nanny.

Not always true. I work for well known agency in DC and they don’t pay me. They send me job offers and if I like it I negotiate the rate directly with the family.

Why can’t you report it as self-employed income? Sch C and you can deduct related expenses, prorated cell phone use, car miles, etc. Down o you have any other income? You could just also report it as Other Income on Schedule 1 since it’s relatively small.

I said that the agency should be collecting the money and providing a 1099. I did not say that the agency should have anything to do with the nanny’s taxes. Yes, the agency is the link between the family and the temp nanny, but a temp is a contract worker selected by the agency. I don’t know if any agencies that do the same interview process for temps that they do for summer and permanent positions. Summer and permanent positions are employee positions, and should have a W-2 from the family.

Maybe someone can help me … last year I started working with an agency as a temp. I worked for few families and made about $2500 Of course I won’t receive W2 but how can I report that income? Some families paid me cash, some thru Venmo (no more than $600 total per family). I know I can’t report it as a self employed
