for the accountants

[ELVIS]

if i hire my mom to watch my kids :

1. i can claim the child care in my flexible spending account?
2. how do i take out her taxes/social security?
3. what is the easiest/legal way?

any suggestions are welcome.

there are no accountants ?

Claiming her wages in your flexible spending account is a question for the plan administrator. Each plan is different and they would know the rules.

If it is allowable, you will need to file quarterly payroll tax forms (941, 940, & state unemployment). This is where you will withhold federal taxes, state taxes (if any), and soc sec & medicare.

Hope this helps.

If you have any other questions, you can get my e-mail from Jack.
