Often, this is a nanny who looks after children, which gives \u201cnanny taxes\u201d its name. Household employment subject to nanny taxes also includes privately hired, in-home senior care workers. Senior caregivers and their employers pay Social Security and Medicare taxes on the workers\u2019 wages. Employees also pay federal and state income taxes (if applicable). Employers pay federal and state unemployment taxes. Essentially, for tax purposes, senior caregivers are treated the same as traditional employees<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;As a household employer, do I have to pay taxes on my employee?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset3&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answer<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Yes. As a household employer, you must withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes if you pay cash wages of $2,800 or more in 2025 (or $2,700 in 2024) to your employee. Employers are not required to withhold federal and state income taxes unless both parties agree upon it. If income taxes are not withheld throughout the year, your senior caregiver will be responsible for paying them at the end of the year. If you pay a total of $1,000 or more per quarter to a household employee, you must pay federal unemployment tax. This does not apply if your household employee is your spouse, child under age 21, parent, or any employee under 18 at any time in the current tax year.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;How much will I owe in senior care taxes?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset3&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>You are responsible for paying 7.65 percent of your employee\u2019s gross pay in Social Security and Medicare taxes, which you can remit quarterly. Your employee will be responsible for the same amount, which is required to be withheld from their pay each pay period. Each of you will pay 6.2 percent towards Social Security and 1.45 percent to Medicare. Your employee will also owe income tax.<\/p>\n<p>You will also pay FUTA (federal unemployment tax), which is six percent of wages up to $7,000 in earnings as well as state unemployment taxes, which vary by state. Your employee is not responsible for unemployment taxes.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Can I file senior care taxes on my own?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset3&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answer<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The IRS estimates that it takes a household employer 60 hours each year to comply with all federal and state tax laws. It can get complicated and time-consuming. You\u2019ll need to adhere to all applicable federal and state tax, labor, and wage laws like the Fair Labor Standards Act, paid sick and family leave programs, and domestic worker protection laws. Some household employers rely on their accountant or a firm like GTM Payroll Services to handle payroll processing and tax filings.<\/p>\n<p>Before handling senior care taxes and payroll on your own, we suggest you visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gtm.com\/household\/learning-library\/complete-guide-household-payroll\/\">The Complete Guide to Household Payroll<\/a>.

It\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gtm.com\/household\/learning-library\/paying-nanny-under-the-table\/\">not that difficult to get caught<\/a>. Your senior caregiver files for unemployment, gets hurt on the job, or sues you for not paying at minimum wage or overtime. Paying your senior caregiver\u00a0\u201cunder the table\u201d and\u00a0getting caught\u00a0could also trigger an\u00a0IRS audit. Not paying\u00a0proper\u00a0taxes can also derail\u00a0career opportunities and not just for\u00a0government positions. For jobs that require a government security clearance, you\u2019ll be asked if\u00a0you failed to pay any taxes when required by law.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Can I treat my senior caregiver as an independent contractor?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset3&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answer<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 No. There are specific differences between an employee and an independent contractor. An employee is a person who takes instruction from the employer, has a schedule set by the employer, and uses tools and equipment provided by the employer. An independent contractor is a person who works under their own conditions, sets their own schedule, and uses their own supplies. Senior caregivers who work in an employer\u2019s home, whether it be on a temporary or full-time basis, are considered household employees, not independent contractors because they work under the family\u2019s control and have their schedule and pay set by the family. In the past, the IRS has made determinations that caregivers are considered employees and it is illegal for a family to treat them as independent contractors.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/gtm.com\/household\/learning-library\/faqs-household-employers\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;More FAQs about Household Employment &#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#0c71c3&#8243; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;100px&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Lato|700|||||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;12px|24px|12px|24px|true|true&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22#457b9d%22:%91%22button_bg_color%22%93}&#8221; custom_padding__hover_enabled=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|28px||20px|true|false&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>make caring for an elderly loved one simpler, safer and fully compliantThey took care of you \u2013 now you want to take care of them.
