Thanks NCPerson,
Mom does actual work back home, taking care of our child who is under 18, Cooking (I travel and my wife has a full time job), Cleaning and taking care of our yard to keep up with HOA regulations. Her wage would be justifiable.
Will look into generating a paystub as a household employee and track performance to keep it in compliance with IRS guidelines.
Earlier in this thread, there was a question asked if Mom has to pay Social Security and Medicare tax for the wages paid on household work when she filed taxes. I see that i don't have to since parents are exempt. I did not see a confirmed 'Yay' or a 'Nay' on the same. Could you please advise?
