The Social Security Administration has publicized that cash payments made for domestic household services is subject to FICA if over $2,000 annually, or $1,000 in a quarter. This is often known as "nanny tax." This threshold is per employee, not the total for all employees.
If you have engaged the services of someone in a domestic setting, be sure you know the rules that apply. This could include, but is not limited to a nanny or babysitter for your children, housekeepers, home health workers and even yard workers.
