Section 3101 of the <\/a>Internal Revenue Code imposes a tax on wages earned by an employee. The responsibility to deduct this tax (commonly known as employment taxes ) lies on the household employer. So, if you are employing people for housekeeping or as a maid or a gardener or a nanny for your child (read what is nanny tax?<\/a> ), then he\/she is required to deduct social security and medicare taxes (referred to as FICA tax) from wages paid to household employees and deposit with IRS. Apart from that, a household employer is also required to pay federal unemployment tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
