    Your responsibilities as a new household employer<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>

    The IRS says you need to withhold taxes from your nanny each pay period, as well as pay taxes of your own. Throughout the year, you’ll also need to file state tax returns and make payments to the IRS. These year-round payroll and tax processes take up about 55 hours of your time annually.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

     <\/p>

    What HomePay does to make your life easier<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>

    We’re set up to accurately process payroll for your nanny each pay period, keeping track of all the relevant federal and state taxes. When it’s time to file tax returns, we’ll generate them for you and send them to the state and the IRS. During tax season, we’ll send a W-2 to your nanny and file annual forms with the Social Security Administration on your behalf. Along the way, if you ever have a question, just reach out and our award-winning staff will talk you through a solution.<\/span><\/span><\/p>
