This week\u2019s question comes from Sarah, a household employer. I withheld payroll taxes from my household employees. How do I report and pay payroll taxes for household employees? Answer: Household employers should prepare and file Schedule H (Form 1040), Household Employment Taxes<\/a> to report and pay payroll taxes if they answer yes to any<\/strong> of the following three questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Did you pay any one <\/strong>household employee cash wages of $1,700 or more in 2009?<\/li>\n
  2. Did you withhold federal income tax during 2009 for any household employee?<\/li>\n
  3. Did you pay total <\/strong>cash wages of $1,000 or more in any <\/strong>calendar quarter <\/strong>of 2008 or 2009 to all <\/strong>household employees?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Household employers should attach Schedule H<\/a> to Form 1040<\/a>, Form 1040NR<\/a>, Form 1040-SS<\/a>, or Form 1041<\/a> if filing any of those forms. If not, Schedule H<\/a> must be filed separately. Vision Payroll<\/a> prepares a Schedule H<\/a> suitable for filing for its household employers. Contact Vision Payroll<\/a> if you have any questions on Schedule H<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
