My babysitter just moved to the country a little less than 6 months ago and has not gotten a iTIN. Non-resident and not planning to stay, but authorized to work. I realize now that I went about this situation completely wrong, but I would like to correct it and adjust moving forward. This was my first child and first time paying someone for services weekly. As "my employee," I should have taken the taxes out of her money weekly. I know that since she still has no TIN, i can't file electronically. I'm wondering if there is a way that I can file where I would be paying the taxes or the taxes could be deducted from my refund for this year? I don't want her to be penalized for me not knowing the way to go about this tax situation. Also, do I need to provide her with a 1099 or W2? I've payed about $3000 in this time if that makes a difference.
