[quote=flu][quote=meadandale]Gotta love this time of year when you are a small business owner and property owner in CA:

1) Mar 15: corp taxes due + first quarter est corp taxes due
2) April 10: property taxes due
3) April 15: personal taxes due + first quarter est taxes due

Let’s just say that I could pay more than one McDonald’s workers salary for a year with the checks I have to write this year.[/quote]

I got you beat. All my insurance premiums for some reason or the other are due around this time too. Why not at the beginning of the year, I have no idea.[/quote]

Yeah, business liability came due a month or so ago, home owners insurance is due and just paid my bimonthly anthem bill.

If it’s tax free, they wouldn’t get Social Security in old age.[/quote]

by the time they are old, there would not be any Social Security.

I’m certainly not planning my retirement with Social Security in mind, I fully expect that to have imploded well before I retire.[/quote]

Similarly, if you hire a maid who sets her own schedule and uses her own supplies, that’s another case of independent contracting. But if you hire a housekeeper who provides cleaning services exclusively for you, using materials you provide at a time and in a manner you determine, says Cindy Hockenberry, enrolled agent and National Association of Tax Professionals Research Coordinator, you are in charge and must pay the taxes.

My housekeepers have always worked for many people and have been the one to determine which day of the week and which time they were available to come clean. They may use specific products that I want them to use for a specific purpose (e.g. use xyz for cleaning my hardwood floors) but other than that it’s pretty much up to them. I have brooms/mops that they can use but they are free to use their own and often do. I want the house clean…I don’t determine the manner in which they accomplish that goal.

[quote=briansd1][quote=ocrenter]looks like the going rate is $100/per day. which is the same as a day labor. assuming the husband is a day labor and the wife is a cleaning lady, that’s $200/day, x 25 days, that’s $5000 a month, tax free. [/quote]

Could it be that most “responsible” parties on Piggington are withholding taxes and remitting them to the government?

I think that I’m the only one who’s paying cash. Bad me!!

What about landscapers and handymen?

If it’s tax free, they wouldn’t get Social Security in old age.[/quote]

If I hire a housekeeper, I’m not their employer, I’m their client. It’s their responsibility to report their income and pay their taxes–just like when I hire a plumber, electrician or landscaper.
