So maids, nannies, babysitters, cooks and gardeners would likely be employees. Contractors such as plumbers and repairmen who operate as independent businesses would not likely be household employees.&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>You need to complete <STRONG>Schedule H Household Employment Taxes</STRONG> if you paid any one household employee $2,700 or more in 2024 or paid more than $1,000 in combined wages to household employees in any one quarter in 2024. If you didn't pay any one worker $2,700 or more in wages, you don't need to pay social security and Medicare tax (FICA) for your employees, but you do need to pay federal unemployment taxes on all workers if you paid more than $1,000 in combined wages in one quarter during 2024. You also need to issue them a W-2 form if they earned more than $2,700 in the year.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>You can learn more from this <A href="https://chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p926.pdf" target="_blank">IRS article</A>.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:58:37 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/self-employed-group/discussion/re-can-i-fill-out-a-1099-nec-for-an-a-person-who-worked-in-my-home-part-time/01/3446090#M15364 ThomasM125 2025-01-31T00:58:37Z
