A household employee is a person who performs non-business services for a taxpayer in or around a taxpayer’s home. This includes child care and other dependent care, housecleaning, cooking and yardwork. If you made less than $2,300 per household and you did not have any expenses, you are considered a household worker and not self-employed.
If any person you worked for paid you $2,400 or more for the entire year, you must provide tax preparer with a W-2, but if you worked for mutiple employers and were paid less than $2,400 each, please provide the total amount you were paid from all employers for the year combined.
