I had a nanny call me yesterday and ask me what to do about filing her taxes because the family had paid her under the table and I told her that she was responsible for making sure the IRS knew about her income and needed to find out how to report it. So I found this link to some information that might help.
This is also something a family should be careful of if they have decided to hide it from the government, as if the nanny does report her income and the family has not paid their taxes on their W2 employee, the IRS will want to ask the family where their money is...
"When a Form 4852 or Form 8919 are filed by the former nanny, the employer will be questioned by the IRS and the IRS will assume responsibility for collection of employment taxes. Nanny always remains responsible for her income taxes, federal and state if applicable." ~www.4nannytaxes.com
