The "Nanny Tax"

According to the IRS, nannies are almost always W-2 household employees, NOT 1099 independent contractors. Families hiring a nanny must withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes, and provide a formal, compliant paystub every pay period.

Overtime and Live-In Nannies

Live-out nannies are entitled to overtime pay (1.5x) for hours worked over 40 in a week. Our generator handles these math calculations automatically, ensuring families remain compliant with FLSA laws.

Nannies & Au Pairs Payroll FAQs

Can I pay my nanny cash without a paystub?

Legally, no. If you pay a household employee more than $2,700 (2024 threshold) in a year, you must withhold taxes, issue a W-2, and provide regular paystubs.

Are au pairs handled differently?

Au pairs are under a specific US State Department visa program. While they receive a weekly stipend rather than hourly wages, providing a stub is a good practice for transparency.
