I'm new to the household employer game. We didn't think we were going to have to pay taxes on our nanny since she started at the end of September, but we paid her JUST enough to have to pay taxes.I have applied for an EIN.I did not pay any quarterly taxes for her since we just realized we would need to pay some. When I plug in her wages in the W2 generator in Turbo Tax it automatically calculates her SS and Medicare witholdings. But I have agreed to pay her percentage as well as our responsibility.So I put 0 in both of these boxes right? Even though Turbo Tax is telling me that the IRS is going to send it back to me to get corrected?What else do I need to do?Please Help!
