If you answered yes to both of these questions, PLEASE recalculate her paycheck deductions using the 2010 rates ASAP. For a married nanny earning $18,000 a year, her Federal income tax withholding could have doubled. If she earns $22,000 it could go up by a third!

Nanny e-Verify Autocomprobación se ofrecerá en 2010

  The Department of Homeland Security’s Citizenship and Immigration Services will launch an individual self-check capability in the E-Verify program in 2010. This will allow workers to verify their own work authorization status before they apply for a job. E-Verify is the federal government’s mostly voluntary electronic employment verification program. E-Verify will confirm I-9 data provided to the employer by matching information to government databases. E-Verify currently allows employees who cannot be electronically verified 8 business days to appeal/correct the information and continue working. “Tentative nonconfirmations in the E-Verify program may be difficult for an employee to address in the eight business days” allotted under the program, said Alejandro Mayorkas, CIS director. With a self-check option, workers could correct errors before they apply for a job and without the eight-day constraint, he said. HomeWork Solutions, the nation’s leading preparer of nanny payroll and provider of nanny tax compliance services, began offering E-Verify to clients in the summer of 2008. Clients who verify their employees employment via E-Verify are provided “safe harbor” – immunity for any government penalties – in the event the employee is later deemed ineligible for employment in the US.   E-Verify Self Check Link

¿Ignorar impuestos sobre la nómina doméstica? Tal vez no…

In today’s economy nannies are finding that good jobs take longer to secure. The household who let’s their off-the-books nanny go, for whatever reason, should be seriously concerned about their former nanny filing an unemployment claim. The nanny who was perfectly content to receive tax fee income experiences a reality check when they have no income for weeks, or months. Suddenly, filing an unemployment claim seems the only option to avoid eviction or to put food on the table. Once that claim has been filed, the whistle is blown on the former household employer. Since state unemployment systems share this information with the IRS, everyone is on notice that the family employed the nanny and that there are no tax returns on file.

Los esfuerzos de aplicación de la ley del IRS se intensificaron

The IRS’s 2010 budget request includes an increase of approximately $300 million above its 2009 appropriations for enforcement. Conventional wisdom says that IRS compliance activities recoup $5 for every $1 spent. Historically, IRS enforcement efforts step up in times of budgetary crisis. The efforts target closing the “tax gap” – the difference between taxes owed and taxes paid. The “nanny tax gap” is estimated to be more than $5 billion per year and possibly as much as $20B.
