Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, you will not be required to issue your babysitter a W-2.

You must provide a Form W-2 if one of these is true:

  • You paid the employee at least $2,000 in 2017.
  • You paid the employee wages of any amount, and you withheld federal tax.

If you meet one of those rules, you must issue a W2 regardless of the age of the babysitter.
