My brother and I have been taking care of our aging parents for the past 3+ years, and as of this week, both are now deceased. During that time, we paid a caregiver to help us and withheld taxes, but we have not filed or paid those taxes (2021-2023). I know exactly what we paid and withheld each tax year, but how do I file and pay those taxes now?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
You would need to file Schedule H, which is done with your tax return to report and pay household employee taxes. You will also need to obtain an EIN.
To file and pay employment taxes using TurboTax when you file your return, you will select the following:
You will need to Amend Your Returns for any years already filed and take the above steps to add the Schedule H and pay the taxes.
Be aware, you may be subject to fines and penalties as you would have an underpayment penalty as well as a failure to pay the taxes you withheld penalty. Having withheld taxes from your employees but not paid them can create legal issues for you so it is best to get this fixed as soon as possible.
