Taxes on Household Employees
Written by Source from www.wsj.com

Q: I read your article on the nanny tax. Does this tax requirement apply to more casual household help, such as cleaning ladies?

%26mdash;M.H., New York

A: Yes, any household employee to whom you pay more than $1,600 annually is subject to these payroll taxes. Internal Revenue Service Publication 926, the Household Employer's Tax Guide, provides more information; it's findable at irs.gov by typing "Publication 926" into the Search box.

Q: You've written in the past about job-finding resources for persons with disabilities. What is the best way to start a search?

%26mdash;Z.S., Rochester, N.Y.

A: To apply for a position as a home-based agent for an outsourcing firm, look for instructions on the companies' Web sites. These include VIPdesk.com; Alpine Access at alpineaccess.com; Convergys.com, LiveOps.com, and Hilton Hotels at hrccjobs.com. Each site includes a tab or button, with labels such as "apply" or "work at home" to begin the online application process.

Readers have emailed me additional online resources for job seekers with disabilities. The National Business %26amp; Disability Council has more than 130 members, including employers and government agencies, that seek to hire people with disabilities; see nbdc.com and click on "Job Seekers" for information on posting a r%26eacute;sum%26eacute;, applying for jobs and attending career fairs. Another resource is Disaboom.com, an online social network for people with disabilities, and its sister site, DisaboomJobs.com, which posts resources, jobs and r%26eacute;sum%26eacute;s. Pride Industries, a Roseville, Calif., manufacturing and service firm, employs disabled people in manufacturing, maintenance and other jobs; see prideindustries.com for information.
