Book Description

This guide is designed for first-time household employer's. It covers the six steps necessary to becoming a household employer and how to pay both your employee and employer taxes. This guide includes a $25 discount on the first year of NannyPay DIY household payroll software, available at nannypay.com. The software is NOT required to become a household employer nor is it required to benefit from this guide. In 1997, Robert Dougher, the proud father of two young daughters, was looking for a simple payroll application that would permit him to calculate withholding taxes for his nanny's payroll check. Hiring a payroll service was an unnecessary and costly expense. Other than complicated integrated accounting software, there was nothing to be found. Believing that there were other household employers in the same situation, Robert teamed up with Adam Garson, founded Essentia Software Corporation, and wrote the first version of NannyPay payroll software for household employers. Necessity was truly the mother of invention. That was 26 years ago and since then NannyPay software has developed into the primary software tool for do-it-yourself household payroll. Over the years, Robert and Adam have learned a lot about the tax rules and regulations governing household employment and would like all household employers to benefit from this education, even if they do not use NannyPay software. That is the genesis of this brief Employer's Guide.
