The IRS does not allow a household employer to classify a domestic worker as an independent contractor when the employer sets the hours and duties. The nanny tax can be legally avoided by hiring someone through an agency that carries the nanny or employee on its books as an employee. Parents that hire babysitters for their children are also required to pay the nanny tax if they exceed the $2,000 wage threshold for any one sitter. Employers of household workers can offer benefits such as parking, public transportation, college tuition and health insurance as non-taxable compensation.
