For years, if you had a nanny, a housekeeper, or anyone else you employed around your home that you pay $1000 or more per quarter, paying taxes was painful. Quarterly installments. Two different agencies. Lots of paperwork. It shouldn't have to be that way. So we fixed it. Now, you only pay and file once a year. And now you'll be able to do it all online. If you want to start paying once a year instead of four times per year, here are the simple steps you need to take:
What is a household employer in Illinois? Anyone who pays a nanny, housekeeper, home health aide or other household employee to work in their home is a household employer. If you pay wages of $1,000 or more in a quarter, you must pay unemployment insurance. Generally, you also have to withhold Illinois income tax for your Illinois employee if you are required to withhold federal income tax.
Ensuring that your household (domestic) employee can legally work in the United StatesIt is unlawful to employ a person who cannot legally work in the United States. When you hire a household employee to work for you on a regular basis, you and the employee must each complete part of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. The Bureau was formerly called the Immigration and Naturalization Service, or INS. You must verify that the employee is either a U.S. citizen or an alien who can legally work and you must keep Form I-9 for your records. You can get the form and the USCIS Handbook for Employers by calling 1-800-870-3676, or by visiting the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov. If you have any questions, please call our employer assistance number at (800)247-4984, Option 1. The TTY number is (866)212-8831. |
