nanny和babysit应该可以cover吧，但需要正确的paperwork。你需要帮他们缴税 （social security, medicare, 还有你自己作为雇主需要交的unemployment tax, employer tax等等） turbotax的解释 https://www.intuitbenefits.com/family-support/child-care/dependent-care-fsa You can use the Dependent Care FSA to pay for the day care of: Your dependent children under the age of 13 （只能用在你13岁以下的小孩身上） Dependents of any age who are incapable of self-care, live with you at least eight hours a day, and are claimed as dependents on your income tax return. （或者无法自理的dependent) Eligible day care must: Be provided while you (and your spouse, if you are married) work, look for work or attend school full time. （要qualify基本上你们夫妻必须是双职工，或者全职学生） Be provided in your home by an eligible provider or at a licensed facility. You will not be reimbursed for residential or "sleep-away" care, nursing home care, or for babysitting when you are not at work. （在家保姆、送去幼儿园等都可以用这个付） Not be provided by your spouse, a child of yours under age 19, or any dependent you claim as an exemption on your federal income tax. （提供保姆服务的不可以是你配偶，你的19岁以下的小孩，或者你税表上的任何dependent，比如有些人可能想claim自己父母做dependent但同时又雇他们做保姆)
不全职比如babysitter那种就不用交税了？那怎么证明你给她发了多少？你非要说给她发了100/hour，实际只给了25/hour怎么办？
这个是要附收据有接收人签字。nanny是否报税不是你的liability，但所有的claim都可能被audit。没有nanny会同意收25签100吧？
现金交易不是就没法报FSA了。。。
娃上DC 也算event吗？
今年学校3月就关门， After School Care 才用了1千多。 不知道怎么化完剩下的3千多。
全职nanny也不需要给交税发W2吗？
大部分保姆要发W2的，帮他们交social security/medicare tax, 要交雇主税。 所谓的independent contractor要自己有公司，自己交self-employment tax才行。否则以私人名义雇保姆却不按照household employer的规矩走，只发1099的等于在违法逃税。
