Guide to Tax Exemptions Based on Age, Student Status, and Family Relationship Employee Copy – Keep for your records

Employees providing domestic services such as personal assistance may be exempt from paying certain federal and state taxes based on the employee’s age, student status or family relationship to the employer. In some cases, the employer may also be exempt from paying certain taxes based on the employee’s status. IMPORTANT: Please see IRS Publication: #926 – Household Employer’s Tax Guide, and IRS website article: “Foreign Student Liability for Social Security and Medicare Taxes” for additional information. IMPORTANT:

• These exemptions are not optional. If the employee and employer qualify for these tax exemptions they must be taken.

• If the employee’s earnings are exempt from these taxes, the employee may not qualify for the related benefits, such as retirement benefits and unemployment compensation.

• The questions regarding family relationship refer to the relationship between the employee and the employer of record (common law employer). In some cases, the program participant is the employer of record. In other cases, the employer of record may be someone other than the program participant. Check program rules.

• Program rules may prohibit some types of employees. For example, most Medicaid-funded programs do not permit a spouse to be paid as an employee for providing services to a spouse. Check program rules.

• PCG Public Partnerships will determine the tax exemptions that apply to the employee and employer based on the information provided by the employee. PCG Public Partnerships cannot provide tax advice.

The employer may also be exempt from paying State Unemployment Insurance, depending on the rules in the state.

Tax Exemptions for Children Employed by Parent

The employer may also be exempt from paying State Unemployment Insurance, depending on the rules in the state.

1. Working overnight. When you work overnight, there are special instructions forcompleting the timesheet. You must complete one line for work you did before midnight and another line for work you did after midnight.

For example, say you worked overnight Friday night from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM. Enter the start time as 9:00 PM as seen below. Enter the end time for that day as 11:59 PM. Now, you did not finish working at 11:59 PM, you just finished working on Friday at that time. Enter the rest of your time on Saturday as shown below – 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM.

2. Working multiple times in one day. Many DSWs work with someone multiple times in aday. You can enter two different in and out times on one timesheet, but you must enter each on a separate line. If you need to enter more than two in and out times, you would need to move onto a second timesheet for the same pay period.

For example, say you started working for Sally at 9:00 AM. You helped her until 10:05 AM. You left to run an errand, came back at 11:15 AM, and stayed until 12:30 PM. You would enter one line for each time you were providing services as shown below.

NOTICE FOR APPLICANTS SUBMITTING FINGERPRINTS WHERE CRIMINAL RECORD RESULTS WILL BECOME PART OF THE CARE PROVIDER BACKGROUND SCREENING CLEARINGHOUSE

NOTICE OF:

SHARING OF CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD INFORMATION WITH SPECIFIED AGENCIES,RETENTION OF FINGERPRINTS,PRIVACY POLICY, ANDRIGHT TO CHALLENGE AN INCORRECT CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD

This notice is to inform you that when you submit a set of fingerprints to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for the purpose of conducting a search for any Florida and national criminal history records that may pertain to you, the results of that search will be returned to the Care Provider Background Screening Clearinghouse. By submitting fingerprints, you are authorizing the dissemination of any state and national criminal history record that may pertain to you to the Specified Agency or Agencies from which you are seeking approval to be employed, licensed, work under contract, or to serve as a volunteer, pursuant to the National Child Protection Act of 1993, as amended, and Section 943.0542, Florida Statutes. "Specified agency" means the Department of Health, the Department of Children and Family Services, the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation within the Department of Education, the Agency for Health Care Administration, the Department of Elder Affairs, the Department of Juvenile Justice, and the Agency for Persons with Disabilities when these agencies are conducting state and national criminal history background screening on persons who provide care for children or persons who are elderly or disabled. The fingerprints submitted will be retained by FDLE and the Clearinghouse will be notified if FDLE receives Florida arrest information on you.

Your Social Security Number (SSN) is needed to keep records accurate because other people may have the same name and birth date. Disclosure of your SSN is imperative for the performance of the Clearinghouse agencies’ duties in distinguishing your identity from that of other persons whose identification information may be the same as or similar to yours.

Licensing and employing agencies are allowed to release a copy of the state and national criminal record information to a person who requests a copy of his or her own record if the identification of the record was based on submission of the person’s fingerprints. Therefore, if you wish to review your record, you may request that the agency that is screening the record provide you with a copy. After you have reviewed the criminal history record, if you believe it is incomplete or inaccurate, you may conduct a personal review as provided in s. 943.056, F.S.,and Rule 11C8.001, F.A.C. If national information is believed to be in error, the FBI should be contacted at 304-625-2000. You can receive any national criminal history record that may pertain to you directly from the FBI, pursuant to 28 CFR Sections 16.30-16.34. You have the right to obtain a prompt determination as to the validity of your challenge before a final decision is made about your status as an employee, volunteer, contractor, or subcontractor.

Until the criminal history background check is completed, you may be denied unsupervised access to children, the elderly, or persons with disabilities.

The FBI’s Privacy Statement follows on a separate page and contains additional information.
