Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Go to the federal government IRS website...look up the definitions for employee.
all home aides (housekeepers, cooks, nanny, etc) are employees and you must insure W2.
so..here is the problem. If you ignore that and do not do withholding....you will likely be caught. The penality is that your (and only you) will have to pay all that back taxes AND penalties. None of that will fall on the employee. So instead of doing the withholding from the employees pay...you get caught, YOU pay all of it,
how do you get caught? Well...the employee gets hurt and cannot work for a period of time, so they file for workman’s comp. bang, you are caught. Or, after some time they lose the job and go file for unemployment insurance...bang caught.
and, why wouldn’t the employee do that? There is only benefit for the employee...no penality, no downside. Only you get hit (hard) for fraud,
so, just go hire a firm to do your payroll. With just one employee it is really cheap and you can do it all online.
I agree, W-2 should be provided, but strongly disagree that OP will as you say likely get caught. That to me is the problem. Most states have minimum enforcement. There is a community organization near me that publishes a book about what nannies, and includes a survey of what nannies get paid on and off the books. Flagrant disregard of the law and it goes on.
Generally, caregivers MUST get W-2s, not 1099s. 1099s are for independent contractors who set their own hours, provide their own equipment etc. Unless you have someone who is more like a babysitter and works less than 4 hours a week, this will be wrong. If your caregiver gives you a properly executed W-4, the withholding can be minimized, but you still owe FICA. If you are presently employed and the caregiver allows you to work, you may be able to claim a dependent care credit.
Not providing a W-2 can you leave you open to the caregiver suing you years down the road
It would be easier for you if you hired a payroll service that processes payroll, does all taxes and insurances and you pay them, they get a percentage of the payroll.
Remember as an employer you are obligated to match SS/MEDICARE, provide workmans compensation insurance, pay into unemployment, withhold and pay state and federal taxes. Know how much those would cost you and you will see that the service is not gouging you. Labor burden is real and it can be expensive. But it protects everyone involved.
