Written by HomeWork Solutions | 6/24/14 12:46 PM

School is out, and families nationwide are turning to summer nannies to provide safe, individualized caregiving for their young children over the summer holidays.

Most summer nannies will earn enough over the summer to obligate the family for payroll tax payments and reporting - the so-called "nanny taxes." 

HomeWork Solutions is here to help! We will cheerfully prorate our summer nanny payroll or payroll tax-only service fees so you only pay for the services you need. You have a short-term need for services for a short term summer nanny and HWS can make this both easy and affordable.

What you need to know:

  1. If you pay your summer nanny $1900 or more, you are subject to the "nanny taxes"
  2. If you privately hired your summer nanny, a nanny background check is a recommended practice
  3. Workers' Compensation Insurance may be legally required - HWS can help, our preferred vendor will issue this insurance for our clients with no application fee
  4. Your summer nanny is due a W-2 form in January 2015, be sure you have a permanent address
