What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
I am considering hiring a part-time (15 to 20 hrs per week), live-in nanny - US citizen or Legal Resident.
I plan to provide a room, utilities, food,and a cell phone. I plan to put her on the books and pay all applicable taxes.
Questions:
Can these benefits (room and board) be factored into her salary, or it the minimum wage still required?
If not part of salary, may I take a tax deduction for providing these benefits to my employee?
Where can I find more information so I do this legally. I've heard it's very complicated to handle the taxes by oneself.
