I followed this advice, and I got a notice from the IRS saying I incorrectly entered estimated tax payments. Because Quickbooks Online asked me to get an EIN for the "business" of the household, I did that. But then I got this Notice. So when I called the IRS and spoke with the Tax Law Department, they told me that I should NOT have filed the 941 and 940, that the taxes are being applied to the "business" EIN. They said that I need to request that the IRS apply the taxes paid to my SSN, and I now have to file a 941-X for each quarter that I had the nanny as well as file a 940 Amended for the year. I am very unhappy with Intuit, which was supposed to handle all of this properly and did not guide me correctly. I'm having to take a day off work to fix this problem.
