If you employed a household worker last year \u2013 like a nanny, housekeeper, or senior caregiver \u2013 you may be wondering \u2026 what is Schedule H, and do I need to file it? Here is how to file <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-schedule-h-form-1040\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Schedule H<\/a> and everything you need to know about reporting your household employment taxes.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Please note: For GTM Payroll clients who added the year-end service to their payroll and tax plan, Schedule H will be provided for you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>What is Schedule H?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-schedule-h-form-1040\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Schedule H<\/a> is the form you use to report federal household employment taxes to the IRS and is filed with your personal tax return.<\/p>\n<p>If you paid cash wages to a household employee and the wages were subject to Social Security, Medicare, and\/or unemployment taxes, or if you withheld federal income tax, then you likely need to file Schedule H. The threshold for reporting FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes was $2,800 in 2025. Do not count wages you paid to your spouse, children under age 21, parent, or any employee under the age of 18 at any time in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Unemployment taxes need to be paid on wages of $1,000 or more in any calendar quarter. Do not count cash wages paid to your spouse, children under age 21, or a parent.<\/p>\n<p>While you are not required to withhold federal income tax from a household employee\u2019s wages, it is recommended so that your employee is not stuck with their entire income tax obligation when they file their own return.<\/p>\n<h2>Before Completing Schedule H<\/h2>\n<p>Before you start filling out Schedule H, make sure you have all the information you need, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Employer Identification Number (EIN)<\/li>\n<li>Federal income taxes withheld from your household employee<\/li>\n<li>Federal unemployment insurance taxes you paid<\/li>\n<li>Medicare taxes you paid and withheld from your household employee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Schedule H: Household Employment Tax Instructions<\/h2>\n<p>Schedule H asks a series of questions to determine whether you are subject to household employment taxes. If you are, you\u2019ll enter your employee\u2019s wages and calculate what is owed in Social Security and Medicare taxes.<\/p>\n<p>Complete the top section, which asks for your name, Social Security Number, and Employer Identification Number. Then answer questions A, B, and C and follow the instructions. These questions determine whether you need to complete the paid sick leave portion of Part 1. If you only withheld federal income tax and\/or contributed unemployment taxes, you do not qualify for the paid leave tax credit, as you did not pay Social Security taxes.<\/p>\n<h3>Schedule H Part I Instructions<\/h3>\n<p>This section of Schedule H details cash wages paid to your employee and Social Security, Medicare, and federal income taxes.<\/p>\n<p>FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes are 15.3 percent of cash wages. Both you and your employee contribute 7.65 percent. This breaks down to 6.2 percent for Social Security and 1.45 percent for Medicare.<\/p>\n<h3>Schedule H Part II Instructions<\/h3>\n<p>Here you will indicate your federal and state unemployment tax contributions.<\/p>\n<p>FUTA is six percent on the first $7,000 of cash wages. This is paid by the employer only.<\/p>\n<p>SUI taxes vary by state and are also paid by the employer. However, employees in three states (Alaska, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania) are subject to state unemployment tax withholding. You will withhold this tax from your employee\u2019s wages and remit it to the state.<\/p>\n<p>If you pay SUI, you may be able to reduce your FUTA liability. Your credit will be determined when you complete Schedule H.<\/p>\n<h3>Schedule H Part III Instructions<\/h3>\n<p>This is where you total your household employment tax obligation.<\/p>\n<p>Enter the total household employment taxes owed from Schedule H, line 26 on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-pdf\/f1040s2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Schedule 2 (PDF)<\/a>, line 9. This will also be added to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-form-1040\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Form 1040<\/a> (or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-form-1040-sr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Form 1040-SR<\/a>), line 23. If you remitted household employment taxes quarterly using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-form-1040-es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Form 1040-ES<\/a>, you can enter those payments on Form 1040 (or Form 1040-SR), line 26.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, if a payroll service is remitting taxes on your behalf each quarter, you\u2019ll count those as estimated tax payments.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have finished Schedule H, you will file it with your personal tax return (Form 1040 or Form 140-SR).<\/p>\n<h2>Schedule H Record Requirements After Filing<\/h2>\n<p>You should keep copies of Schedule H for at least four years from the filing due date. You will also want to keep pay records, including pay dates, wage amounts (cash and non-cash), FICA taxes withheld, and federal income taxes withheld (if any).<\/p>\n<h2>Failing to File Schedule H<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re required to file Schedule H and fail to do so, you will likely:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Receive notices from the IRS and\/or Social Security Administration<\/li>\n<li>Face financial penalties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Paying Nanny Taxes Quarterly<\/h2>\n<p>It is a good idea to withhold taxes from your employee&#8217;s each pay period and remit both the employer and employee tax amounts each quarter with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-form-1040-es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Form 1040-ES<\/a>.\u00a0That way, you and your employee are not stuck with your entire tax obligation when you file your personal returns.<\/p>\n<p>Also, since household employment taxes are added to your personal tax obligation, you may have to pay an estimated tax underpayment penalty if you don\u2019t pay your household employment taxes during the year. Another option is to have additional federal income tax withheld from your wages during the year.<\/p>\n<h2>GTM Can Help<\/h2>\n<p>GTM Payroll will not only manage your household payroll and taxes throughout the year but also offers a year-end package that includes Schedule H, Form W-2 for your employees, and Form W-3, which we will file with the Social Security Administration.
