If you received a W-2, then enter it following the steps below. This is the only way you would be able to avoid those taxes. If you did not receive one, you would be considered self-employed and you would be responsible for all the taxes.
Social security and Medicare taxes do apply to payments made to
a parent for domestic services if all of the following apply:
- The parent is employed by his
or her son or daughter;
- The son or daughter (the
employer) has a child or stepchild living in the home;
- The son or daughter (the
employer) is a widow or widower, divorced, or living with a spouse who,
because of a mental or physical condition, can't care for the child or
stepchild for at least 4 continuous weeks in a calendar quarter; and
- The child or stepchild is
either under age 18 or requires the personal care of an adult for at least
4 continuous weeks in a calendar quarter due to a mental or physical
condition.
Payments made to a parent employed by his or her child aren't
subject to FUTA tax, regardless of the type of services provided.
