Hi - I did this, but the IRS came back and it appears that they're saying I HAVEN'T already paid my household employee taxes.
Example of what I think our refund calculation looks like:
A (taxes we owe as individuals working)
+ B (taxes we owe as an employer of a nanny)
= C (total taxes owed)
D (taxes our employers withheld from our paychecks)
+E (taxes we withheld and paid from our nanny's paychecks - includes both her and our shares of everything)
= F (total taxes paid)
Refund should equal F - C.
However, the IRS is only showing that we paid in D and not counting our E payments. We used a payroll service to collect, pay, and file our E payments. Is it possible something just got disconnected on the IRS side? Anyone have any ideas of whom to contact to fix?
